[wpkg-users] User GUI for WPKG-GP

[Nils Thiele]

Hey,

I finished creating a precompiled installer in the last few days, no 
more complex registry modifications. Everything is handled by the 
installer now (and of course reverted if uninstalled). This also allows 
the client to be updated in the background, even if it is running at the 
moment.


You can get the latest test release here:

https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp-client/releases


I also updated the wiki with the information to deploy the Client with wpkg:

https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp-client/wiki/Installation-and-Usage


Besides that i finally add builds for both x64 and x86 for my wpkg-gp 
modification:

https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp/releases

(The Client wont work with the normal WPKG-GP release)


Next up will be a small tutorial to customize the client (translations 
and other message modifications), i hope to finish this later this week.


Feedback is always welcome.


Best Regards,

Nils
