[wpkg-users] Registry change during boot and roaming profiles

[Sebastian Hoffmann]

  Hello list,

I think I've a conceptional problem: I've got computers running W2k 
which are not capable of the "taskkill" command used in the firefox 
package to kill any running firefox-processes. So I decided to use 
pskill instead of taskkill. But on the first run of pskill it asks the 
user to accept the eula. I found a .cmd file on 
http://forum.sysinternals.com/topic8783_page7.html which sets a registry 
values indicating that the eulas of all sysinternals tools have already 
been accepted.
Now I tried to make my own package file with this command, but only 
working for pskill:

<packages>
<package
     id="pskilleula"
     name="Accept pskill EULA"
     revision="1"
     reboot="false"
     priority="99">

<check
         type="registry"
         condition="equals"
         path="HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\PsKill\EulaAccepted" value="1"/>

<install cmd='REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\PsKill" /v 
EulaAccepted /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f'>
<exit code="0" />
</install>

<-- <upgrade cmd='%SystemRoot%\System32\msg.exe * /TIME:10 "upgrade"'>
<exit code="0" />
</upgrade>
     -->

<remove cmd='REG DELETE "HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\PsKill" /v 
EulaAccepted /f'>
<exit code="0" />
</remove>

</package>
</packages>



The value gets correctly set and works fine. My problem now is the 
remove command: When a client is booting up the registry key gets 
deleted by wpkg irunning in delayed logon mode. But when I login as a 
domain user using roaming profiles, the old registry becomes restored 
from the roaming profile on the server and the key also gets restored. 
But the wpkg.xml file in system32 has already deleted all information 
belonging to "pskilleula" and the package is marked as not installed.

I know, it doesn't make much sense to remove this key, but I'm 
interested in the problem itself. How can I act in such circumstances 
when designing my own package files?
