[wpkg-users] Problem with 64bit version of WPKG on WinXP 64

[Kyle Conti]

Stefan, 

To answer your question on how we push out software to our users, I have attached three scripts. So initially, I run the UpdateScript64.bat script. I choose to input the IP for the computer I want to push the updates to. If the computer does not currently have wpkg on it, it will run the InstallWPKG_64.bat script, then follow up with the updatescript64.bat. If the computer already has wpkg client already installed, it only runs the updateworkstation.py script. 

I have gone ahead and removed/replaced things relating to my company in these scripts. Please take a look through if you'd like. Once again, the problem is that on 64 bit computers I HAVE to reinstall the wpkg client before I can update a user again (after that user restarts his/her machine). On 32 bit computers, I can just keep running the update script and there are no issues. What would cause 64bit computers to mess up the client after a restart? 

I had to rename the attachments to .txt to send.

So we would need more information about how your environment is set up. 

Currently I am not sure how you are using WPKG. 

A detailed step-by-step description would be handy. 
Any scripts and settings that aren't easy to describe would be handy too. 

BTW, always use "reply to all" so you are also replying to the group not 
just to the individual. 
This makes sure that more people get involved, since it is likely that 
someone uses a similar set up and can point out the cause of your 
problems directly.
