[wpkg-users] Windows 7 Install

I am getting the error when I am attempting to install the wpkg-client 
software.  I am using the 64bit installer to attempt to install the 
software.  When I right click the file there is no option to run as 
administrator.  My assumption is that the option isn't there due to having 
administrative privileges.  When I attempt to install the software I am 
not getting the log file in %windir%\temp\wpkg-%computername%.log.  My 
best guess on this is that the software is erroring out before it starts 
writing to the temp directory.  I have attempted to adjust the properties 
on the Temp directory to no avail.

well, it definately looks like a permissions issue :)

Do you get this problem when trying to install the wpkg client software
itself? Or is this a message from a package to be installed by the wpkg
software? I have no x64 windows 7, but I run wpkg x64 with windows
2008r2 without those issues.

If the message is from a wpkg package (wpkg is trying to install another
application, then you need to check some things:

If you run wpkg as a windows service, under what account does it run? I
run the standard package as local system and it just works.

If you run it in a scheduled task, check also the account that is
running this.

As a last (for now) troubleshooting measure, in %windir%\temp there is a
file wpkg-%computername%.log with very detailed info of what wpkg has
done during its last run. Check it out to find errors. you can also run
wpkg from the cli with the /debug flag to see the same info live on a
console.
