<p class="MsoNormal">I can see how this is <span style="color:red">easily</span> achieved in a deployment where a batch file calls up wpkg.js processing, one adds it just after cscript has finished executing wpkg.js and returns. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">But how do you practically do it when using the wpkg agent, which is a service that does not really finish or return in that sense ? It seems that anything I try to do from it finds the wpkg.xml locked because the wpkg agent is currently
processing it. Doohh! <o:p></o:p></p>
