Hi,<br>
<br>
What unresolved issues do you have with the gpe execution on windows
10?<br>
<br>
At least with fastboot disabled (we have SSDs in all current
systems) it works fine on all system we have shipped so far (Clean
install, Enterprise LTSB 2016 and Education). <br>
I would love to be able to improve the boot execution method of
wpkg-gp but since its developed in c++ its out of my league.<br>
<br>
Any other improvement ideas or wishes for the wpkg-gp background
service or the client are appreciated and i would try to implement
them. I hope to be able to continue active development on both
projects in the next month, but besides a better notification gui
for the client and fixing the makemsi.exe dependencies i have
nothing new on my agenda. the lastest version of my wpkg-gp mod is
working fine so far without any problems in our environment and i
started using it in production since the beginning of the year. Only
improvement planned is to reduce the eventlog output produced by the
update query.<br>
<br>
Is there a place on the wiki for a wpkg.js wishlist for future
improvements? Maybe we should start collecting those so in case
somebody continues development.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Nils<br>

<tt><font size="2">Hello Rainer,</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">you're right. wpkg.js is pretty complete and
the lackings
are minor (i'd have some ideas for new features though). What
WPKG is desperately
missing is steady support on the Front-End.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">The "official" WPKG client is practically
dead, only working properly on XP (by design) and it's
successor, WPKG-GP
- while being a tremendously good idea and product - does have
unsolved
problems on Win10 that make it's main working mode (GPE)
unreliable. With
Nils' GUI-Addition there's a nice workaround (and finally a
GUI). </font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">I sincerely hope that this fork will get some
more
love - i do like it, but my non-programmer love will probably
not be that
useful :)</font></tt>
<br>
