Ive come across a situation where a package required users to be alerted that it was being installed, however when I go to use the wpkg notify system I noticed that it uses net send. On workstation the alerter service is disabled, I think this is why it is failing.
Would it be better to use the WSH Object Popup? http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/f482c739-3cf9-4139-a6af-3bde299b8009.asp starts ~ line 2340 /** * Notifies the user/computer with a pop up message. */ function notify(message) { if (!nonotify) { var cmd = ""; cmd += "%SystemRoot%\\System32\\NET.EXE SEND "; cmd += host; cmd += " \"" + message + "\""; try { exec(cmd, 0); } catch (e) { throw new Error(0, "Notification failed. " + e.description); } } else { info("User notification suppressed."); } } could be something like var wshObject = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); var intButton = wshObject.Popup("\" + message + "\", 10, "Alert", 52**); WScript.Echo(intButton); sorry not much of a scripter otherwise I could polish it up. **This would also allow users to choose whether to install that package during that boot and return what the user chose. It also has a timeout if no button is pressed (10sec) -- Michael Chinn User Support Officer - Information Technology Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority PO Box 1379 TOWNSVILLE, QLD 4810 Ph 07 47500874 Fax 07 4772 6093 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================================ If you have received this transmission in error please notify us immediately by return email and delete all copies.
