In that I am looking at a way to have the wpkg client automatically install with the proper settings. The only thing we change is the location to the wpkg.js file, all other settings are default. When I stated here they had a batch file that would install the 32bit client and service but now 2 years later that file is nowhere to be found. So if anyone has a pointer on how to, without user input, install wpkg client 1.3.14 x64 using a batch file I would be greatly appreciative! Donny B. -----End Original Message----- Donny, I too have found it very useful to use a batch file to install the WPKG client. I went as far as to use a batch to exe compiler to bundle the settings file, the x86, and the x64 client together and let my batch file do the rest. Here is the script I have been using: copy /Y wpkgsettings.xml %TEMP% IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%" (GOTO 64-bit) ELSE (GOTO 32-bit) :32-bit echo Installing WPKG 32-bit msiexec /qb /i "WPKG Client 1.3.14-x32.msi" SETTINGSFILE="%TEMP%\wpkgsettings.xml" GOTO END :64-bit echo Installing WPKG 64-bit msiexec /qb /i "WPKG Client 1.3.14-x64.msi" SETTINGSFILE="%TEMP%\wpkgsettings.xml" GOTO END :END del %TEMP%\wpkgsettings.xml The reason for copying the settings file to %TEMP% was so the SETTINGSFILE= line would point to the right place after the compiled exe extracted the included files. You can take those lines out if you have a static place you can point the settings file to, or if you have specified the location of the settings file in a modified MSI (using orca).
