           Summary: WPKGINST.exe can not load settings.xml from full path
           Product: WPKG Client
           Version: 1.3.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: WPKG Client
        AssignedTo: mangoo at wpkg.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla at noldi.de

Hi,

I've written an installation routine, which automatically deploys 64 or 32 Bit
WPKGClient via PSEXEC.
The installation via MSI was correctly deployed with the argument:
SETTINGSFILE="%~dp0settings.xml"

BUT: I wanted to check prior installation whether the application is installed
or not. If it is installed I only want to apply the settings.xml via

WPKGINST.EXE --SETTINGSFILE=C:\InstallSilent\settings.xml

This is not possible, unless the settings.xml is in the workpath and is
submitted like this:

WPKGINST.EXE --SETTINGSFILE=settings.xml

Here is the batch script for installation purposes in detail:
-- snip --
if exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\wpkginst.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\wpkginst.exe"
--SETTINGSFILE="%~dp0settings.xml"
if not exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\wpkginst.exe" msiexec /qn /i "%~dp0WPKG
Client 1.3.9-x32.msi" SETTINGSFILE="%~dp0settings.xml"
-- snap --

I had to change the script into the following, so that the script functions
properly:
-- snip --
cd /D "%~dp0"
echo %CD%
if exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\wpkginst.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\wpkginst.exe"
--SETTINGSFILE=settings.xml
if not exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\wpkginst.exe" msiexec /qn /i "%~dp0WPKG
Client 1.3.9-x32.msi" SETTINGSFILE="%~dp0settings.xml"
-- snap --

Hope you can correct the SETTINGSFILE option in the next version.

I also tried the --import and --export option. Seems to be the same.

I Tested it on a Windows XP SP3 with latest SP installed.

If something is unintelligible, Please ask ... I know that my english could be
much better ;-)
