I _really_ appreciate WPKG.  I found it a few months ago in a google search.  Tried it out on a test computer with my linux samba server, and haven't looked back.  Rolled it out on new computers here and will do the existing ones soon.  It has saved me alot of time.  Not just in walking around (thats the greatest benefit), but I can install a bunch of apps with 1 command (windows key + r, \\server\wpkg\wpkg-install.bat) so I don't have to carry around a bunch of cd's or run program installs manually.  And when a new version comes out of something, I don't have to go to every PC to upgrade, just put it on my server, update wpkg (if needed), increment the revision number by 1, and then prop my feet up on my desk, sit back, and relax :)

I made wpkg because I used Samba. Also, because GPO can only deploy MSI
files, and if you have even ONE program that isn't a MSI, or is a broken
sucky MSI, you're going to be walking around.

Subject: [wpkg-users] advantage of using wpkg

Since windows GPO can finish most of deployment jobs, what is the biggest
advantage to use wpkg?
