Hello, it's me again -.-

As the subject says, i'm trying to deploy WPKG client to some computers over
the network in order to widen my tests environment.

I follwed the instructions:

- created the getcomputers.vbs file
- ran it and obtained the hosts.xml file
- copied the file in a C:\Temp folder of the server, together with the
settings.xml file to deploy
- downloaded and installed PSTools in C:\PsTools
- opened a command prompt
- ran the command: c:\pstools
- ran the command psexec -h -u domain\useradmin -p userpassword
@"C:\Temp\hosts.xml" -d msiexec /i "C:\Temp\WPKG Client 1.3.14-x64.msi" /qb
SETTINGSFILE="C:\Temp\settings.xml"

The command prompt returned the message:

-------------------------------------------------------------
PsExec v1.98 - Execute processes remotely

\\PCNAME:

msiexec started on PCNAME with process ID 3196.
-------------------------------------------------------------

So everything seems to be ok. But if i then go to computer management,
connect to PCNAME and go to see the PCNAME services list,  i don't see any
WPKG Service installed.

The PCNAME Event Viewer, in the System Tab, reports the following events in
a short succession:

-------------------------------------------------------------

I see no other errors nor warnings in the other Event Viewer Tabs.

The WPKG client is a small file, but i doubt it can auto-install itself in
less than one second.

The server from which i ran the psexec command runs Windows 2003 R2 x64,
while the target PC runs Windows XP x64.

So, again, what am i doing wrong?
