Shared WPKGs in use by both Chemistry and Maths
Environment variables
We expect that you will have set the following environment variables:
- WPKGJS
Full UNC path to 32-bit wpkg.js - WPKGJS64
Full UNC path to 64-bit wpkg64.js - WPKGINSTITUTION
Agreed-upon code your institution (see below) - WPKGSOFTWARE
Full UNC path to the central software repository. - WPKGSOFTWAREUSER
Username that should be used for connecting to WPKGSOFTWARE - WPKGSOFTWAREPASSWORD
Password that should be used for connecting to WPKGSOFTWARE as WPKGSOFTWAREUSER - WPKGLOGDIR
Directory in which software installer logs are to be kept
The included wpkg wrapper script will look in HKLM\SOFWARE\WPKG\vars and set environment variables for all keys of type REG_SZ, so you could e.g.
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\WPKG\vars /v WPKGINSTITUTION /t REG_SZ /d chemistry
Note: in general, the expectation is that environment variables with names starting "WPKG" are somehow used in this repository, e.g. in package definitions, helper scripts, etc.

Repository layout
\packages - directory with multiple xml files, each of corresponds to an individual WPKG package definition \scripts - example scripts, e.g. wrappers around wpkg.js which map drives and set environment variables
