WSH:
> Error when searching registry sub-keys at 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards\'

Did you read the INSTALL file?

Note: WPKG Web Interface does not have an active maintainer, so not all 
features present in the current version of wpkg.js are supported.

There is a function in wpkg.js which looks for the IP address - search 
for "NetworkCards" in wpkg.js if you're more curious.

For usage, see http://wpkg.org/files/stable/Changelog-1.0 (search for 
instances of "IP-address"). Perhaps it sould be documented a bit better...

You can see a some more additional info also here:

Execute check and pipes

Hello,

I'm using the following configuration to add a run of wpkgservice at
12:30 every day of the weekd:

==== wpkg-at ====
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<packages>
  <package
      id='wpkg-at'
      name='Run WPKG at a time'
      revision='1'
      reboot='false'
      priority='100'>

    <variable name='ATTIME' value='12:30 /every:l,ma,me,j,v'/>
    <variable name='ATCMD' value='sc start wpkgservice'/>

    <check type='execute' path='at | %WPKGBIN%\grep "%ATCMD%"'/>

    <install cmd='at %ATTIME% %ATCMD%'/>

    <remove cmd='at | gawk "/%ATCMD%/ { system(\"at \" $1 \" /delete\") }"'/>

  </package>
</packages>
==== END ====

In the log I got:
Execute check for program 'at \| %WPKG%\bin\grep "sc start wpkgservice"' returned '1'. Evaluating
condition 'null' revealed false when comparing to expected value of '0'

Does it fail because of the "\|" ?

I don't know if the "\" is only for the log output or if WPKG try to
run the command as it's shown.

Regards.

It looks like the exit value of the expression is 1. I did not test with 
the pipe character yet - so I can't tell you if the WScript exec method 
allows it or not. I might do some tests if I have some time left... hmm, 
not so much at the moment...

> Does it fail because of the "\|" ?

Probably because of the pipe character, but not because of the "\" in 
front of it - see below.

> I don't know if the "\" is only for the log output or if WPKG try to
> run the command as it's shown.

Yes, it is only for the output. WPKG prints each log entry onto one 
single line replacing linefeeds by '|'. This makes the log easier to 
follow/read. Of course if somebody wants to use a log-file browser and 
restore the linefeeds then all pipe symbols within the output would 
become linefeeds as well. So it's a basic principle that special 
characters need to be escaped if they are used without their special 
meaning.

So yes, wpkg.js is just adding the \ in front of the | symbol during log 
file writing, not during execution.

br,
Rainer

The system cannot find the file specified

Hello,

I am using wpkg to install numerous types of software.  Half of which I 
have been able to install successfully (Firefox, Thunderbird, 7zip, 
Notepad++, and VLC).  There are a hand full in which I cannot for the 
life of me get to execute correctly.  I have followed the unattended 
install codes found on your site (modifying for my path to the package) 
and get the same error.  When I execute the same exact command on the 
client pc in command prompt the package installs, however when I run 
wpkg either by restarting (or by executing cscript \\server\wpkg\wpkg.js 
/synchronize /debug, it will act like it tries to install OpenOffice 2.4 
(installer flashes on the screen) but then skips over it and presents 
"The system cannot find the file specified" for that package and also 
for Adobe Reader 8 and PDFCreator, all of which can be installed with 
the msi command inputed directly on the client.  Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Re: The system cannot find the file specified

don't paste your packages.xml and profiles.xml so we can't help you out, 
please! :)

I had what seems to be the exact same problem a while ago.  It turned
out to be an extra slash on the path.

msiexec \\R4p17\VOL1\apps\WPKG\Programs\\OpenOffice\openofficeorg24.msi

instead of...

msiexec \\R4p17\VOL1\apps\WPKG\Programs\OpenOffice\openofficeorg24.msi

A regular setup.exe would work ok like...

\\R4p17\VOL1\apps\WPKG\Programs\\OpenOffice\ooosetup.exe but msiexec
will not allow it.

You may want to check that.
