[wpkg-users] Running at shutdown

[Ronny]

Hello,

when you set the wpkgclient timeout to 10 seconds, then wpkg.js has 10 
seconds to fullfill it's tasks and then it will be interrupted and the 
computer shuts down. If you use wpkgclient, you will not see any 
windows, even with the /qb switch. I would suggest you to use /qb- as it 
suppresses all modal windows and doesn't wait for a click.

On the other hand it could mean that the wpkgclient doesnt have access 
to the wpkg-share?

Did you try to run wpkg.js directly? Did it install Adobe Reader?

Regards Ronny
