Hi list,
Thanks for an excellent project. I have just started to use WPKG and
like the way it's put together.
I work in an educational institution and want to deploy virtualbox to
some student computer labs.
Here's the package that i've come up with...
<package
id="virtualbox"
name="Virtualbox"
revision="%version%"
reboot="false"
priority="10">
<variable name="version" value="4.1.6" />
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Oracle VM
VirtualBox 4.1.6" />
<install
cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\virtualbox\VirtualBox-4.1.6-74713-Win.exe" -s' />
<upgrade
cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\virtualbox\VirtualBox-4.1.6-74713-Win.exe" -s' />
</package>
My issue is with the virtualbox installer, Virtualbox resets the network
inetrfaces on install[1] and so wpkg.js stops executing immediately
after virtualbox is installed. From the log below, Virtualbox returns a
status of zero, so the virtualbox installer seems to run and finish ok,
but wpkg.js does not continue executing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how i could get around this?
Here's some logs from the client machine when installing virtualbox
C:\Users\Administrator>cscript \\172.16.22.63\dcamwpkg\wpkg.js /synchronize

I presume this happens because networking gets reset by the virtualbox
installer.
Thanks.
