Hi again<br><br>Well, WPKG is not a really good tool to use for user-specific settings for a number of reasons. It is intended as a tool to install software for all users on a workstation.<br><br>Your issue with "race conditions" is one example of this. WPKG sets the registry during boot (I am not sure how you execute WPKG though), and the setting is reset by the roaming profile. I would believe that configuring per-user settings is better done through a logon script (executed under the user's environment), or by utilizing a tool as Active Setup: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Setup">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Setup</a> to make sure all users on the computer has the same environment.<br>
<br>I didn't explain it too well, did I? :)<br><br>-CL<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/7/22 Sebastian Hoffmann <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sebastian.hoffmann@pallas-group.de">sebastian.hoffmann@pallas-group.de</a>></span><br>

Yeah thanks, that solved the problem with the Firefox package under
W2K for me.<br>
<br>
I found a "newer" <span><span> ;-) </span></span>version,
2.4.2, under

But what can I do when I have to set registry keys during delayed
logon with roaming profiles? <br>
In my opinion they are always restored from the roaming profile
during login when they first have been deleted by the uninstall cmd
during delayed logon. Or am I wrong?<div class="im"><br>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Hello list,<br>
<br>
I think I've a conceptional problem: I've got computers
running W2k which are not capable of the "taskkill" command
used in the firefox package to kill any running
firefox-processes. So I decided to use pskill instead of
taskkill. But on the first run of pskill it asks the user to
accept the eula. I found a .cmd file on <a href="http://forum.sysinternals.com/topic8783_page7.html" target="_blank">http://forum.sysinternals.com/topic8783_page7.html</a>
which sets a registry values indicating that the eulas of
all sysinternals tools have already been accepted.<br>
Now I tried to make my own package file with this command,
but only working for pskill:<br>
<br>
<packages><br>
<package <br>
id="pskilleula"<br>
name="Accept pskill EULA"<br>
revision="1"<br>
reboot="false"<br>
priority="99"><br>
<br>
<check<br>
type="registry"<br>
condition="equals"<br>
path="HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\PsKill\EulaAccepted"
value="1"/><br>
<br>
<install cmd='REG ADD
"HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\PsKill" /v EulaAccepted /t
REG_DWORD /d 1 /f'><br>
<exit code="0" /><br>
</install><br>
<br>
<-- <upgrade cmd='%SystemRoot%\System32\msg.exe *
/TIME:10 "upgrade"'><br>
<exit code="0" /><br>
</upgrade><br>
--><br>
<br>
<remove cmd='REG DELETE
"HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\PsKill" /v EulaAccepted /f'><br>
<exit code="0" /><br>
</remove><br>
<br>
</package><br>
</packages><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The value gets correctly set and works fine. My problem now
is the remove command: When a client is booting up the
registry key gets deleted by wpkg irunning in delayed logon
mode. But when I login as a domain user using roaming
profiles, the old registry becomes restored from the roaming
profile on the server and the key also gets restored. But
the wpkg.xml file in system32 has already deleted all
information belonging to "pskilleula" and the package is
marked as not installed.<br>
<br>
I know, it doesn't make much sense to remove this key, but
I'm interested in the problem itself. How can I act in such
circumstances when designing my own package files?<br>
