Comment wpkg a useful tool for application management (Score 1) 367
Wpkg or Windows Packager, is a tool that can be used for managing application rollout and versioning.
As long as a way to install, upgrade and uninstall a given software package silently (ie programmatically) can be found, then using this tool is a snap. It runs as a service on Win2k and XP (perhaps others) and causes the given machine to keep itself up to date with the central repository and profile status (xml files on a server). There's even a html back-end under way to manage the xml files.
