Shared WPKGs in use by both Chemistry and Maths

Environment variables

We expect that you will have set the following environment variables:

  1. WPKGJS
    Full UNC path to 32-bit wpkg.js
  2. WPKGJS64
    Full UNC path to 64-bit wpkg64.js
  3. WPKGINSTITUTION
    Agreed-upon code your institution (see below)
  4. WPKGSOFTWARE
    Full UNC path to the central software repository.
  5. WPKGSHAREBASE
    Full UNC path to base of the central share.
  6. WPKGSOFTWAREUSER
    Username that should be used for connecting to WPKGSOFTWARE
  7. WPKGSOFTWAREPASSWORD
    Password that should be used for connecting to WPKGSOFTWARE as WPKGSOFTWAREUSER
  8. 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.
