Do I have to do that on the client workstation, experiencing issues?

I beg my pardon, but did not transformed .msi file itself. I created .mst additional file, which is applied on top of the .msi package. I did it by the book:

http://wpkg.org/WPKG_Client#Installation_via_Group_Policy
more precisely:
http://wpkg.org/WPKG_Client#Creating_a_Transform

> - upgrade the MSI and point it to a settings file: http://wpkg.org/WPKG#WPKG_Client_upgrade

Does this mean, that all Group Policy/Active Directory deployment is not supported? I have made different impressions :-|

In addition - from where does Wpkg Windows service (as a client) know, where to look for settings.xml? Where is the value, passed by transform/command line is stored? Registry? File system?

I am confused on this topic.

Andrew.
