The problem is, the system thinks it is "still booting" when delayed logon is active - in such case, Windows won't reboot. The solution would be to learn WPKG Installer to read exit codes from wpkg.js (and, also from "execute before/after"); if we have a specified exit code, "WPKG service" should schedule a restart as soon as it's possible. I think reading an exit code is a cleaner and better solution than setting/reading/cleaning some registry values. Of course, that's the concept, the code does not exist yet (and everyone is welcome to contribute). Also, we don't want to use any GINAs - this was a conscious decision wwhen we started to implement the "logon delay" - things tend to get complicated more than needed then. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
