[wpkg-users] Are negative priority levels support?

[Paul Griffith]

Hi All,

   Does WPKG accept a negative priority level?  I wanted to have a package that runs last after all other packages. This package disable the wpkg service from running at start-up. I tried it, and everything **seem** ;) okay. A quick look at the code didn't reveal anything I should be concerned about. What I want to do is deploy all my packages, then disable WPKG. Then I could run the WPKG updates on a fixed schedule and not at start-up.

            priority="-1">

        <!-- 2= automatic, 4 = disabled -->
        <check type="registry" condition="equals" path="HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WpkgService\Start" value="4" />

        <install cmd='%ComSpec% /c sc config wpkgservice start= disabled' />

        <upgrade include="install" />

        <remove cmd='%ComSpec% /c sc config wpkgservice start= auto' />
    </package>

Thanks for looking :)
