subject:"\[wpkg\-users\] Wpkg client"

 I see you're not using a path-user setting but instead the machine account. I
 personally never tried it but remember that there were some discussions that 
 in
 certain cases it does not work properly. Tomasz can comment on this, he 
 knows by
 heart I think.

 This should generally work, but I never really had the chance to  test it 
 personally, due to the lack of an AD controller here.

OK :-)

 Well, I might get access to one, but so far, AD users here on the list 
 reported that using machine accounts work for them (but not for Samba 
 though).

I do not know, is the machine account is responsible for the error. I think the 
intermediate problem is to shallow error reporting code at that section, which 
does not allow to pin-point the exact culprit.

 Andrew: I assume the client was joined to the domain?

Yes it is. It is Windows 2000 native domain.

 You can also try http://wpkg.org/files/client/beta/1.3.14/ - although there 
 were almost no changes in machine account handling code.

I will do that for sure. I would like to clarify - do I have to make the 
trasform with the Properties table additional record, pointing to settings.xml 
file, or else .msi package install will fail?

 If it still doesn't work, please report it on http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/ 
 - I will be reminded to see what happens.

I am sorry, but I do not know what exactly to report. I think you all suppose, 
that the problem is in the autehtication code section, when using machine 
account. But from the error output, I am not so sure about that. I was educated 
to report only the exact information, which is manifesting the bug, without any 
hypotehsis of my own, in case if I am not developer intimate with the inner 
workings of the software. I think this would be wise.

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi,

 Andrew: I assume the client was joined to the domain?
 
 Yes it is. It is Windows 2000 native domain.

Hmm, maybe this points us to the problem. As Tomasz said the machine account
authentication is not working well with Samba domain controllers. Samba is
emulating a Windows 2000 domain (no AD). Maybe machine authentication is only
working in AD domains.

As I am using Samba domains only I am also using a dedicated user account which
is allowed to access the share. This works quite OK but I fully agree that using
the machine account would be quite an elegant way to authenticate.

Rainer

I think instead of wasting time on creating a transform file (too bad AD 
does not let you specify MSI parameters) you can just run a AD script:


cscript \\path\to\wpkg.js /install:wpkg

Easy enough.

That you use Windows 2000 (what service pack?), and using machine 
account does not let you use WPKG Client with AD.

No, you understood it wrong. It is Windows 2000 Active Directory domain in 
Native mode (no pre-Windows 2000 domain controllers, like Windows NT4).

Samba domain should emulate standard domain features as well as Microsoft 
native one. They had plenty of time and opportunity to reverse engineer 
required protocols and functionality.

 As I am using Samba domains only I am also using a dedicated user account 
 which
 is allowed to access the share. This works quite OK but I fully agree that 
 using
 the machine account would be quite an elegant way to authenticate.

From my POV, this is the only solution, as it is safe and does not have any 
administrative overhead. Therefore, if the client does not work, I think I 
will have to fall back to the Group Policy script activation mode.

P.S. I cannot download beta from http://wpkg.org/files/client/beta/1.3.14/. 
Server is malfunctioning - drops connections, does not send the whole file 
(only few tens of Kb).

Re: [wpkg-users] WPKG client service script error on clean

2010-02-27 Thread Peter Gough

I can confirm that the download works okay from Australia.

In terms of software deployment we'd love to stick to simply deploying msi
packages using group policy but this just isn't a practical position for
most of us. Given the variety of software delivery options employed by
vendors we looked for a setup neutral system and wpkg was the best available
at the time. I still believe it offers all sorts of benefits over other
deployment strategies and has the added bonus of being actively developed!

Would be nice. I tried visual traceroute to wpkg.org server, it seems, that 
there is are no problems. Therefore maybe only my route is bad.

OK. I understood. wpkg.js is capable to deploy WPKG client itself. But doesn't 
this implies, that in such configuration, one must have two different 
WPKG-server side folder trees with .xml config files, sub-folders and packages? 
This is because WPKG client must have different tree to pull deployment 
information. If only one tree will be used, both AD-executed wpkg.js and the 
WPKG client will deploy packages twice. Or if wpkg.xml local datastore escapes 
this situation, then only wpkg.js will do actual deployment, and when WPKG 
client is run, it will have no actual jobs to do. Is this right or not?

\ As AD is not able to handle MSI parameters (although it is advertised

Yes, it does not handle. On the other side, MSI often can be edited directly, 
or MST transform created to add those command line parameters. Not an intuitive 
way, but possible.

In any case WPKG is salvation, as MSI is not available to all software, and 
some software cannot be cleanly re-wrapped from .exe recorded to .msi.

  From experience, you'll have to decide if you want to use AD to deploy 
 packages or WPKG.
 If you decide to use both, you'll likely to get confused one day, when 
 WPKG will install some package, then AD will remove it, then WPKG will

I do not think so :-) If there is MSI package, it will be deplyed by Active 
Directory software deployment, as it fast, convienient and most of the time 
works OK. In case there is no MSI package, WPKG is a way to go. I do believe, 
that in some cases MSI package will not deploy well through AD, so WPKG can 
help in this case also.

Perhaps we should make the installer so that it looks for settings.xml

are given.

This should essentially solve the problem.

The reason is that during manual /install:wpkg operation WPKG writes the wpkg

Heh, now I have a joke. After unsuccessfull first deployment of 1.3.9 client, I 
have tried 1.3.14 beta (I finaly was able to download it via 3rd provider). It 
did not worked. Everything was failed here: 
http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182.

And now, back to the 1.3.9 client, suddenly it works OK. From my POV, I have 
changed nothing in config. I am happy, but at a loss. I do not know, if other 
clients will follow this good habit, I will have to check this out.

The only problem I have now, that I cannot disable WSH Success Audit entries 
in the Windows Application Log. It fills everything up. I have cheched 
everywhere, and it seems, that there is no any /debug /verbose parameters 
anywhere, and config.xml entries all were set as conservative, as possible. Log 
file is not generated at all now, only these WSH entries.

I have deployed WPKG client on the other workstation. Depolyment went well, no 
errors. And it does not have WSH success audit entries overfill. Maybe you 
know whats is the problem here, and in such case may you please give me some 
hint how to disable this behaviour? :-)

Samba supports Active Directory only as a domain member, and that works quite 
well as long as you don't use IPv6.

As a domain controller, it still only emulates the NT4-style domains. Samba 4 
will finally support Active Directory as a domain controller, but I'm not 
really holding my breath for it. The development pace is glacial.

Development for it started early this century. The first public preview came 
out in 2006, and a few alpha releases (marked as dangerous for production use) 
have come out since then. Alpha 1 came out in 2007, and now they are at Alpha 
11. Maybe they'll have it out of beta by 2015? If you want to play with it, you 
can download it at http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba4/ but don't put it in 
production.

I think the main problems were threefold. First, there were legal issues - even 
if it was easy to reverse engineer, you may not be allowed to do it (those 
issues mostly got resolved thanks to the EU Antitrust lawsuit. Apparently, 
Microsoft still hasn't been all that forthcoming with documentation). Second, 
apparently the Samba code base did not lend itself to Active Directory; they 
pretty much had to start over from scratch for Samba 4. And third, I suspect 
that the developers themselves were only half-heartedly interested in AD. I 
recall hearing that Andrew Tridgell considered rsync a more important project 
than Samba.

  As I am using Samba domains only I am also using a dedicated user
 account which
  is allowed to access the share. This works quite OK but I fully agree
 that using
  the machine account would be quite an elegant way to authenticate.

 From my POV, this is the only solution, as it is safe and does not
 have any administrative overhead. Therefore, if the client does not
 work, I think I will have to fall back to the Group Policy script
 activation mode.

Group Policies are closely connected to Active Directory. I believe there are 
ways to make them somewhat work with Samba, but you will be spending a lot of 
time tweaking things, and you'll be on your own. Also, even if you make it 
work, startup scripts are a Group Policy extension that is pretty much 
guaranteed to not work.

As for machine account vs. user account: NT4 domains (and thus, Samba domains) 
do have machine accounts. But they don't have startup scripts. They only have 
logon scripts that are executed AFTER logon in the context of the individual 
user.

I don't think there is a centrally-administered way around that in a Samba 
domain.

Unfortunately it's very difficult to name some possible issues now out of the

software versions (Windows Scripting, Service Pack etc.).

Re: [wpkg-users] WPKG client service script error on clean

  Heh, now I have a joke. After unsuccessfull first deployment of 1.3.9 
  client, I have tried 1.3.14 beta (I finaly was able to download it via 3rd 
  provider). It did not worked. Everything was failed here: 
  http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182.
 
  And now, back to the 1.3.9 client, suddenly it works OK. From my POV, I 
  have changed nothing in config. I am happy, but at a loss. I do not know, 
  if other clients will follow this good habit, I will have to check this out.
 
 Could you do one more test? If you upgrade to 1.3.14, does it suddenly 
 stop working?

Yeah. It seems it was too much for me for 1 day. After letting AD Software 
Installation to upgrade 1.3.9 to 1.3.14 beta, there is no suddenly problem, 
which was filed under bug 182.

In addition, the problem with WSH over-reporting Success Audit events to 
Windows Application Log on the 1st workstation, which had this problems is gone 
after upgrade.

I sincerely do not know what has changed :-|.

Maybe the settings.xml, because, after I tried 1.3.14 beta, I installed this 
client on the management workstation and used it to generate settings.xml. I 
did this because I thought, that maybe new client will need new XML file with 
perhaps some new options. Maybe 1.3.9 client generates bad settings.xml files, 
which used in the client run sequence under Windows AD, fails? I am unhappy 
about myself, because I did not saved and documented each change in all files 
while testing.

In addition:
1. .MSI packages do not have special table records to link files between 
versions upgrades, to allow seamless upgrade. This fixup would be nice.
2. If .MSI files are upgraded in the replace mode, the upgrade in fact fails. 
The failure is that in this replace mode, the WPKG Windows service is removed 
in the upgrade process, but is not re-created when new package is installed in 
place of the old. Perhaps this happens, because there is some bad access mode 
to the windows service database. I will try upgrade mode, but I believe, that 
this mode will be OK, as it will merely install new files over the old ones 
without changed service DB/registry.

Andrew.

[wpkg-users] WPKG client service script error on clean install

2010-02-26 Thread Vasaris

Hello,

For the start let me thank the developers and maintainers of this project,
as it is very usefull. I am newbie here, therefore pardon for my incompetence.
I have started depolyment of WPKG from scratch. If I understand correctlly,
there are two separate modes of the execution - server-side based push-pull
with AD/logon script, and client mode pull-only. I started with the first
server-side mode. It functions correctly, and the wpkg.js from wpkg.bat runs
OK, reads XML definitions, and deploys the packaged (at this time only timesych
to test) OK, leaving the log file and Eventlog full with debug info.
Yet, I have issue with the Client (1.3.9 32 bit) service error. It is logged
in Windows Application log and is as follows:

Event Id 1, Error, WpkgService, Script execution: failure. Exit code: 1. There
are informative events before and after this one, but none of the indicate the
problems.

The service was deployed in the domain, with Active Directory IntelliMirror
- msi package. There was issue, that MSI package deployment hanged in the
Installing WPKG... screen interminentely, until workstation was rebooted. The
issue was tracked down to the fact, that I did not use Orca MSI editor to add
the config file location table record. After the transform with the record was
added, and MSI package republished, the MSI install was a success.

After this, I uploaded settings.xml file to the target workstation, which I
have preprared and exported from the additional workstation, where WPKG client
was installed manually. It is as follows:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?

The log file, created during clien service run, is as follows:

2010-02-26 17:39:46 - Starting WPKG on startup

2010-02-26 17:39:48 - Cleanup done.

It is the same to the Windows Eventlog.

I have unsuccessfully tried:

1. To change path to the script from UNC DFS-path to the UNC server path. I did
not try mounted volume aproach, as I do know how to do that in the service
execution context.
2. To restart serveral times.

When I try to run WPKG client on the other workstation with settings.xml loaded
in the test mode, it runs dubiously:

Testing complete
2 - OK
1 - failed
5 - not tested
Details:
Action: Offline mode - connecting to 192.168.2.1

Action: Trying to read \\gravera.com\KATALOGAS\DOMAIN\DISTRIBUCIJA\WPKG\wpkg.js
Result: [OK]
Message:

- like if it tries to authenticate with some empty crediantials and then fails.
There are no Failed Audit entries neither on the workstation, or the server,
auditing is turned on for sure.

Please notice, that WPKG in server mode executes flawlessly. Yet it would be
good to use client mode, to give info to the users, that something is
happening, to give information.

Therefore, any help with the client problem would be super. I will be waiting
for the reply.

Andrew

Of course I did so. The second workstation was used to generate settings.xml, 
which was uploaded to the first one by deployment script, before WPKG client 
was installed.

 I see you're not using a path-user setting but instead the machine account.

Yes, I do so. I chose this, because I do want to use and deploy user account 
with the administrative priviles in the domain, as well as the password for 
that account. If it is possible to run under system account, in impersonated 
environment, I think, it is best solution.

 I personally never tried it but remember that there were some discussions 
 that in
 certain cases it does not work properly. Tomasz can comment on this, he knows 
 by

That would be best. I do want to switch to dedicated user+password scenario, as 
it is less secure and has a weak point, if the password changes/expires, user 
account is disabled, or any other accident.

 I suggest you to try using a path-user (DOMAINuser notation) and password in
 order to use this user to connect to the specified share.

I can do that, but is this the only solution? If so, then I think, that I will 
fall back to the first mode - when Active Directory Startup script calls 
wpkg.bat, and this one calls wpkg.js, which in turn runs the deployment cycle. 
I will not use client in such case. This is because, if I understand the 
documentation correctly, then the client does not work in NT 6.0/6.1 - vista+w7.

Hmz. Maybe then it would be good idea to rewrite error handling routine to 
output failure indicating exact reason of the failure.

 I see you also added /debug to the WPKG parameters. I recommend you to use
 /synchronize only and control the debug level within config.xml. This will
 allow you to change it later without having to re-deploy a configuration 
 update
 to your clients.

This is testing scenario, with only one isolated workstation. Of course in the 
production it will be changed back.

Regards,

Andrew.

This should generally work, but I never really had the chance to test it 
personally, due to the lack of an AD controller here.


Well, I might get access to one, but so far, AD users here on the list 
reported that using machine accounts work for them (but not for Samba 
though).


Andrew: I assume the client was joined to the domain?

You can also try http://wpkg.org/files/client/beta/1.3.14/ - although 
there were almost no changes in machine account handling code.


If it still doesn't work, please report it on http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/

The same installation command line use for 1.3.6 does not works here.

I can not install it with “--SETTINGSFILE” option.

I manage to install it without and then import the settings manually.

The installation proceed normally and does not crash with offline mode
activated.


I forgot the logs.


Could you also attach your settings.xml file?

Please also provide a full command line you are using.

I'd be glad to hear from other people if it fails for them in a similar 
way, or if it works fine.

[wpkg-users] WPKG Client 1.3.10 released (testing release)

2010-01-24 Thread Tomasz Chmielewski


WPKG Client 1.3.10 has been released.

This is *not* intended for production environments and is designed for
testing purposes only.


It is available for download at http://wpkg.org/files/client/beta/1.3.10/


This release should fix the following problems:

- crashing on XP SP3 with offline mode enabled,
- service removal problem, if the service is already started,
- WPKG Client fails to start wpkg.js on some hardware.


Other changes:

1. Improve pinging/detection of the server
2. Do not execute processes synchronously
3. Retry some actions if they failed (settable in GUI)
4. Increase pinging time


Please test and report back any issues found/remaining.

Technically, it should be compatible.

Please check the past two weeks on the list for possible workarounds.

Also, please add your bug report to http://bugzilla.wpkg.org (there is 
an existing report for that) - it will let me have a more clear picture 
of the issue.

Re: [wpkg-users] wpkg client: server settings, using http

2009-10-06 Thread Rainer Meier

Hi mcduck

mcduck wrote:
 Shouldn't it be possible to use a webserver for sharing the settings,
 profiles and so forth, as compared to a file server?
 
 I am not using any domain, and would like to use wpkg over the internet.
 According til feature nbr. 8 on http://wpkg.org/WPKG_overview it should be
 possible.

WPKG requires an SMB/CIFS share to ber un from - sorry, but windows scripting
host (WSH) does not support running *.js scripts from HTTP. So you will in any
case need a Windows file share.
Item #8 on the page referred says that you do NOT need a domain controller. But
Windows shares do not require a domain controller. You can use a simple NAS
device too.

WPKG itself allows you to store packages.xml, profiles.xml and hosts.xml on an
HTTP server. This was implemented to allow web-based management tools which
generate these files on-the-fly.
In addition WPKG supports downloading of files from HTTP servers (usually to
%TEMP% directory) in order to execute these files after downloading. This
theoretically allows you to provide the installer using HTTP, let it be
downloaded by WPKG and then installed.

However I am not aware that any larger deployment exists which uses this method.
It's not very widely tested and as you require a Windows share anyway it's not
very common to use HTTP for package fetching.

So consequently you need to have a windows file share to put WPKG on.

Theoretically you could write a script which downloads an archive from the
(HTTP-) server, extracts it and then runs wpkg.js (contained in the archive
downloaded). Everything else (packages.xml, hosts.xml, profiles.xml) can be
fetched from HTTP directly by WPKG but of course you could include it in the
archive mentioned above.

Using such technique you could provide a pure internet-based deployment:
1. script/rsync fetches WPKG from server (wpkg.xml, config.xml, packages.xml,
profiles.xml and hosts.xml)
2. script executes wpkg.js
3. wpkg downloads files specified in download / nodes
4. wpkg installs packages as specified
5. wpkg cleans up the system

Starting from item 3 everything is done exactly like any normal WPKG execution
(just using the download feature in WPKG).

Item 1 and 2 would have to be implemented in custom scripts.


Please note that many software licenses do not allow you to re-distribute the
packages in any way. So if you plan to offer such a service to the public you
might violate some license agreements.

br,
Rainer

 Hi Stefan,

 When you run WPKG at shutdown how to you prevent Windows from
 killing your processes ?

 Thanks
 Paul


Paul,
the WPKG client service is set to add a pre-shutdown delay, which you 
specify in the client GUI, like the logon delay.
This is the maximum timeout after which the wpkg.js will be killed.

I do have some installations lasting between 30 and 45 minutes, so I set the 
shutdown delay to the maximum possible, which is 90 minutes.
This way a big installation and some small ones can successfully finish, till 
the machine finally shuts down.
I have included a timeout for the commands of these installations too, to avoid 
waiting the whole 90 minutes in case of a failure.

See the Wiki for the possible timeout definitions.

Thanks Tomasz,
the delay brings up the gui :)

Unfortunately it seems to delay login by 1 minute everytime after that even if 
there are no packages to be installed.
Is there a way around this or is it a current limitation ?

So far WPKG seems an ideal solution for our large network and I love how its 
configured through local xml files, excellent program/project.

It shouldn't be the case.
If the delay is enabled and wpkg.js has really nothing to do, you should 
see this dialog for 10 seconds or so (the time when wpkg.js starts, 
reads config files, makes check and eventually quits).


If the delay is longer for you, this might suggest that wpkg.js is 
really doing something (hangs at installing something etc.).



To find out what it could be, set logging to your server in config.xml, 
and just browse the log (and check the timestamps) for a given 
workstation (the one which you think shouldn't be doing anything, but 
has a logon delay window waiting).

[wpkg-users] WPKG client issue on Vista

2009-08-12 Thread David Christensen

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

When I start the wpkg client on vista hosts it immediately fails and
then stops.  The error in the event viewer is for the WpkgService and
simply says Script execution failure.

Not sure what this means, I tested the wpkg settings and everything
tested ok.  What else do I need to look at on the client side to get a
better understanding of what is failing?

Is there anything in Vista that I need to do differently then XP clients
to accommodate the differences in OS?

Can you paste the event log here?

What version of WPKG Client do you use?

You could try a newer version.

But your issue is most likely just a pre- or post- script which fails.

 The wpkg version I am using is 1.2.1
 
 You could try a newer version.
 
 But your issue is most likely just a pre- or post- script which fails.
 Or wpkg.js.
 

I installed a new version and got the same error.  I was able to figure
out that the issue was related to the execution context.  When I
deployed wpkg on my XP clients I created a user in my samba domain that
had access to the share where wpkg is mounted and then added this user
to each client as a local admin.  I tried the same thing in vista and
even with the newer client the same thing occured.  It looks like
permissions are much different in t for testing purposes I used the
administrator account for the execution context and restarted wpkg,
which worked.  However now that I can keep wpkg running, I am not able
to install any applications, I get an error invalid username or bad
password when it tries to run the package cmd specified in package.xml.
 Is there a particular wpkg client configuration that I need to use for
Vista clients?

If you're logged in as a (domain) administrator, you probably have 
network shares already mapped.

Therefore the test will most likely work, even if you use wrong credentials.

Samba denies access.
But to be sure, set log level = 3 in smb.conf, and see what is logged 
in Samba logs.

Hi Andrea,

Andrea Zagli wrote:

Exactly, if you put the full netbios name into the host definition WPKG should
not even try to read the IP and therefore no error should be logged.

However I agree that putting full netbios names is usually inconvenient if you
have quite a lot of machines. So regular expressions (like .*) are more
convenient. In this case you will see this single error line logged because WPKG
cannot read the IP and then it continues as usual. So you can just ignore this
error unless you really want to use IP-adress-based matching.

Rainer

Hi Andrea,

Andrea Zagli wrote:

 ip, i have only host names

You cannot - at least not directly.

WPKG first tries to match your host name directly to the name specified in the
hosts.xml file. If the host file matches the host-name 1:1
(character-by-character) then no IP match is done. If it does not match directly
(e.g. if you use regexp) then WPKG tries to read the IP of the machine and match
the hostname to the IP string (this part fails on W9x).
If still no match is found then the host definition is interpreted as a regular
expression and matched against the hostname again.

As I wrote there is no negative effect besides that the IP-matching does not
work on W9x. In case you insert complete hostnames into hosts.xml then no error
should be logged.

Rainer

Andrea,
this registry key is only available on Winodws NT, which includes NT4, 2000, 
XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and Win7.

I think the WPKG client is not meant for Window 9x/ME, since this branch is 
dead for along time now, even if it is still used in some environments.

Just a users opinion,
Stefan

 WPKG64.msi doesn't work

 If I manualy start WPKG service, error message appears: Error 1067: The
 process terminated unexpectedly. More info in error-wpkgclient.txt.

 Anything interesting in the Event Log (or the file that is mentioned)?

 WPKG Client will be supported on Windows 7 once this operating system is
 released.

[wpkg-users] WPKG Client (1.0.4) with /logLevel:31 but almost no information in logfile

Hi,

to debug an installation problem I'm currently having, I set the 
following WPKG client settings (with the GUI):

WPKG parameters: /synchronize /nonotify /logLevel:31
Log to file: yes
Logfile: C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\wpkg


However when restarting or starting the WPKG service, only very basic 
informations are written to it:

2009-04-29 18:20:25 - Cleanup done.
2009-04-29 18:21:11 - Starting WPKG on startup
2009-04-29 18:21:11 - Before create shared memory: successfuly done.
2009-04-29 18:21:11 - Create shared memory: successfuly done.

2009-04-29 18:23:08 - Script execution: successfuly done
2009-04-29 18:23:08 - Network resource: successfuly disconnected
2009-04-29 18:23:11 - WPKG Service: successfuly done
2009-04-29 18:23:11 - Working done. Perform cleanup.
2009-04-29 18:26:11 - Cleanup done.


I also tried the /debug option to no avail.


Is there a way to have a similary detailed logging into the logfile as 
one would have when running wpkg.js on the command line with `cscript`?

I don't/can't use `cscript`, because it seems that the variables that 
are defined with the WPKG GUI are not expanded in this case.


Thanks

This is the Windows Event Log - and events logged by WPKG Client.


 I also tried the /debug option to no avail.

The parameters you gave are for wpkg.js - and it logs to a _file_ 
specified in config.xml.

Sorry, I'm a little bit confused, so I ask again to be sure:  The file
defined in the Misc Settings tab of the WPKG client is *not* the file,
the WPKG client logs to?  Instead in this file it writes the information
it would otherwise write to the Event Log?

If yes: Isn't that a little bit confusing :-) ?

I have now (re)run the service once with unchecked Misc settings - 
Log to file and once with checked Log to file but w/o specifying a 
logfile.  In both cases there was no logging to the file defined in 
config.xml...

There are two components here:
- WPKG Client - it starts wpkg.js
- WPKG (wpkg.js) - it installs programs etc.


Both have independent logging.

Logging for WPKG (wpkg.js) is specified in config.xml file.
