Nice. Before the end of the year, we will have something similar in WPKG installer. It will have some additional features, too: - choose if we want to delay logon until all packages are installed - if we want to delay logon, how much? - until all packages are installed/processed, no matter how long it takes - delay logon by max. X minutes (i.e. 10 or 15 minutes) - in case an admin makes an error (and some software never installs, but waits for user input in the background) - user will be able to log in after that time - custom warning, two texts, changing each 10 seconds or so (indicates that the PC really does something): 1) WPKG is installing applications and applying settings... 2) Please wait, don't restart or power off your computer... The admin will be able to change it (to Polish, German etc.). Everything customizable via a GUI installer or command line (via XML settings file). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
