Just to add. I tested this on Win7 32bit and 64 bit was well as Windows XP and it worked correctly on all of them. ________________________________________ From: wpkg-users-bounces at lists.wpkg.org [wpkg-users-bounces at lists.wpkg.org] On Behalf Of Paul McGrath [J.P.McGrath at leeds.ac.uk] Sent: 22 May 2013 20:35 To: Carlos R.

That's exactly what i have executed, indeed the expanded command from the WPKG Log is (as is, in spanish): "\\capibara\repositorio\software\academico\maxima \maxima-5.28.0-2.exe" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /D="C:\Archivos de programa\maxima" /MERGETASKS=!desktopicon /LANG=es I'm testing on a WinXP 32bit VM and it is not working reliable, it seems to fail on some point and silently choose de default install dir with this version. You can see that i am using that command in the previously posted package definition. That's why i tough to save the install dir on a registry value (wich was my question).
