No. WPKG is a software deployment tool and runs on an already installed Windows. There are tools available which focus on the automated OS preinstall like RIS and WDS. After deploying the OS WPKG can be used to deploy the software. Moreover the main target of WPKG is to _synchronize_ software and not just to deploy it once. If you need to set up machines with Windows without maintaining the software later you might consider integrating the software once directly into the WDS image so you safe some installation time when deploying the image with pre-installed applications. I personally prefer to deploy Windows using WDS and then run WPKG right after setup and windows updates to deploy the software. This prevents me from having to update the image on each update of a software package included. br, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
