[wpkg-users] Is there any way to display a popup?

[LAPLAUD François]

In fact as told before, msg.exe is used by wpkg.
Si the parameters are the same
Indeed the * parameter will broadcast the msg to ALL connecter Users on the local machine (not domain).
You could use a /time:xxx to set a maximum time before the msg disappear
But nothing possible to wait for the end of an installation.

As someone said before using autoit would certainly fit your needs with only a few line of code

Nice... that certainly puts a popup on all users desktops...  but there
is no way to get rid of it other than for the user to click ok.  It would
be nice if msg.exe could be terminated by wpkg somehow.  It doesn't even
show up in task manager.
