[wpkg-users] Using WPKG on Win7

[Paul McGrath]

Hi Simon,
  I was wondering why you don't run WPKG as a service as it is designed?  We are in the middle of migrating to Windows 7 and all I've had to do is add in file checking lines and error codes for %programfiles(x86)%.  
  None of my users have admin rights and I haven't changed the UAC.  All my systems are in a domain.
  Most if not all of your installers should only reference environment variables like %software% and %programfiles%.
Paul

Hi - long time since I last posted here (as WPKG just works :) )
I use WPKG in 6 schools but all XP machines.

I'm now trying to use it on Win7 but its a bit of a fight :)

I run WPKG on logon from shortcut in allusers program startup folder.
(All users have administrator rights)

I've created a shortcut to my existing wpkg startup bat file (and altered
advanced properties to run as admin)

I've disabled UAC so that things like Office 2003 can be installed without a
UAC prompt.

I'm starting to alter direct references to install.bat files to shortcuts to
them but its going to take some time to get thme all to works (i use a
mixture of msiexec, bat files, vbscripts and straight cmd lines!)

Is there a magic method to save me a lot of work? :)

regards

Simon
