Hi Daniel, I think the point in setting it up as a service is to allow package deployment even in environments where users don't have Admin rights. Running it from a registry key in the manner you've described would mean any software installation/uninstallation would be performed with the privileges of the user logging in.
Hope this helps :) Petcher, Daniel wrote: > The website's Installation Instructions > <http://wpkg.org/index.php/Installation_instructions> try to set-up services > or scheduled tasks, but wouldn't a plain-old registry key be easier: > > <package > id="wpkg-start" > name="Install WPKG to run on each startup" > revision="1" > reboot="false" > priority="100" > notify="false" > execute="once"> > <install cmd="\\server\wpkg\software\WPKG-start\install.bat" /> > <remove cmd='\\server\wpkg\software\WPKG-start\uninstall.bat' /> > </package> > > > ::wpkg\software\WPKG-start\install.bat: > REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v WPKG /t REG_SZ > /d "\\server\wpkg\wpkg-start.bat" > > ::wpkg\software\WPKG-start\uninstall.bat: > REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v WPKG > > Am I missing something? > > -dP > > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
