<p class=MsoNormal>in your packages.xml if its already ran the command, you'll
need to increment the revision by 1 for it to run again.<br>
<br>
my packages.xml for seamonkey is:<br>
<br>
<package<br>
id="seamonkey"<br>
name="Mozilla Seamonkey"<br>
revision="167"<br>
reboot="false"<br>
priority="10"<br>
execute="once"><br>
<check type="file" condition="exists"
path="%programfiles%\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe" /><br>
<install
cmd='"\\roark\wpkg\pkg\seamonkey-1.1.4.en-US.win32.installer.exe" -ma
-ira' /><br>
<!-- <install cmd='cmd /c del /s /q "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\mozilla.lnk'
/> --><br>
<install cmd='\\roark\wpkg\files\Set_Seamonkey_as_default.cmd'
/><br>
<upgrade
cmd='"\\roark\wpkg\pkg\seamonkey-1.1.4.en-US.win32.installer.exe" -ma
-ira' /><br>
<upgrade cmd='\\roark\wpkg\files\Set_Seamonkey_as_default.cmd'
/><br>
<br>
<remove cmd='"%SYSTEMROOT%\SeaMonkeyUninstall.exe
-ms"' /><br>
</package><br>
<br>
change the install/upgrade lines to what you need for firefox. notice the
revision= statement?<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>in XP SP2: start, run, control panel (in classic view),
scheduled tasks, 2x click on add scheduled task, hit next.<br>
<br>
i use the dos client, so i have it run cscript \\server\wpkg\wpkg.js
/synchronize /quiet and then set it to run when you want (certain time, at
logon, etc)<br>
<br>
dunno what the command is for the WPKG GUI client, i've never used it.<br>
