I can confirm that the download works okay from Australia.<br><br>In terms of software deployment we'd love to stick to simply deploying msi packages using group policy but this just isn't a practical position for most of us. Given the variety of software delivery options employed by vendors we looked for a setup neutral system and wpkg was the best available at the time. I still believe it offers all sorts of benefits over other deployment strategies and has the added bonus of being actively developed!<br>

You can also try <a href="http://wpkg.org/files/client/beta/1.3.14/" target="_blank">http://wpkg.org/files/client/beta/1.3.14/</a> - although there were almost no changes in machine account handling code.<br>

Sorry, but the server is now experiencing some sort of problems. I cannot download beta-client, as the server drops connections right on the beggining of the download, or after some Kb are downloaded. And the download is extremly slow. I think you should check this out.<br>

Again, works here - most likely a problem on your side.<br>
But someone else could recommend if it works for them or not.<div class="im"><br>

I think instead of wasting time on creating a transform file (too bad AD does not let you specify MSI parameters)<br>

<br>
OK.<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
you can just run a AD script:<br>
<br>
cscript \pathtowpkg.js /install:wpkg<br>
<br>
Easy enough.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Sorry, but I do not know whats does this accomplishes? Installs the client? Or runs the WPKG normal cycle?<br>
<br>
I would rather stick to MSI packages, as they allow seemless upgrade, when new version is out. If it is not possible, I think, that server-mode deployment is better then.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
If you have "wpkg" package defined (including WPKG Client), it will install WPK Client.<br>
<br>
As AD is not able to handle MSI parameters (although it is advertised that "it handles MSI"), or install exe and such, this was one of motivations to write WPKG.<br>
<br>
>From experience, you'll have to decide if you want to use AD to deploy packages or WPKG.<br>
If you decide to use both, you'll likely to get confused one day, when WPKG will install some package, then AD will remove it, then WPKG will install it, and so on.<br>
<br>
If you want seamless upgrades using MSI and parameters, Microsoft recommends you to migrate to SMS.<div class="im"><br>
