[wpkg-users] Windows 7 64 bit, Samba, WPKG won't run on startup

[Mitch Larsen]

Hi, New WPKG user here, problem as per subject line.

I'm using WPKG Client 1.3.9-x64.msi.

The WPKG service starts on it's own just fine, but nothing installs at 
startup.

I have one test package (Pidgin) configured for testing.  The package 
references an unattended.cmd file, which installs pidgin and copies 
files into the directory for dictionaries.  This .cmd works as long as 
one is an admin on the local machine.

If I log on to the machine as a Domain Admin and run cscript 
\\server\\wpkgshare\wpkg.js, the package installs fine into Program 
Files (x86), and the dictionary files copy into the proper folder.

If I log on to the machine as a Domain User, and run cscript manually as 
above, the package installs to 
User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Pidgin, and the dictionary files 
don't copy over (the cmd window hangs).

I'm not sure what to do to get WPKG to start up at startup (and run as 
SYSTEM) like I thought it was supposed to do?

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie out!

Mitch
