[wpkg-users] automating MS Windows Script installation

[Antonio Calvo Rodriguez]

I'm using wpkg under active directory policy with a mix of windows 2000 and 
XP computers.
Updating the scripting engine is easy, just include the installer in the 
start.bat launched by the GP. as in tje example below.
If i recall correctly wpkg doesn't support windows version bellow windows 
2000
---- Star.bat ---
@echo off
goto :inicio
