[wpkg-users] Running at shutdown

[Alan Adams]

I'm trying to change some of our computers to run WPKG during shutdown.
I've used wpkgclient to change the setting, and saved it. I have a package
(Adobe Reader) which should deploy to the computer.
It installs using msiexec /i /qb, so there should be a progress bar.
During shutdown (Windows 7) I see "shutting down WPKG Service service",
followed about ten seconds later by "Windows is shutting down", which
lasts for about 20 seconds. This is nothing like enough time for Adobe
Reader to be installed. After restart, Adobe Reader is not present.
Does WPKG put messages to the screen, for example "do not shut down or
power off, installing software"?
Do the msiexec progress bars get shown?

The event log shows three WSH messages showing the installation starting,
followed by an MSIEXEC message for the start of the installation. Then it
creates a restore point. Then the user profile service stops. The next
message is part of the restart sequence. These messages occur within a
time span of 5 seconds. It looks as though the system is not waiting for
the installation to complete before shutting down. Is this expected
windows 7 behaviour?
