Re: [Unattended] software management
try maybe WPKG - http://wpkg.sourceforge.net ? Eeek .. my bad .. i did saw some references to wpkg, but thougth it'd be some windows tool/set_of_tools that could help out in the job. I did however install the unattended-ui and at least graphically and the content looked like something promising ... is there any way to put these two to work together? My idea is to set up a system so i can give "the monkey" a nice web tool where he can manage things ... or maybe there's already something(s) that already do this? I'm sorry about all my "lack of knowledge", but i'm giving the first steps in this unattended thing... =) There is *some* work being done on http backend for WPKG and hopefully it should be ready by the end of March (but again, no promises). You can see a pre-pre-alpha on http://wpkg.bilba.pl. No sources are available yet, and it's not really functional at this moment.

[Unattended] software management
Hello all, I was wondering if there's an easy way to check (through the command line) if a certain software is installed. I believe that it's possible to change the installer script in such a way that it could query the machine for installed software so that it could add or not tasks to the todo.pl. With that working, it would rather easy to set up a scheduled task in the client to re-check if all the software appointed for it is in fact installed or not, proceeding to it's installation in case anything is missing. Of course in every successfull software installation, the respective software entry for the client would be marked as installed in the database and therefor ignored in the next check. I once used this approach to manage software in linux machines and it worked rather well. Do anyone know of any add-on to unattended that provides this functionality? If not, do you think i'm dreaming too high in thinking it's be easy to extend unattended to this point?
