wpkg.js execution error

[Andreas Heinlein-2]

I have a problem with deploying WPKG on on of our machines.
wpkg.js stops execution early during config intialization. When run as a
service I get an  event log entry with event id 1:
Message: "Object expected"
Description: Object expected
Error code: 800a138f
Stack: undefined
Line: undefined

I stepped through the script with the script debugger and found out it
is stopping at line 1107, in function getConfig(), Line:
        if (argn("config") != null) {

This line somehow generates an error that is caught and causes the log
entry.

The machine - like all others - is Windows 2000 SP4 with IE6 (=WSH 5.6).
I tried reinstalling IE6 with no success.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Andreas

what command line do you use when starting wpkg.js?

You are using Wpkg Version 1.0.2, right? With Wpkg Client or do you
start manually?

Best regards,
Falko

Yes, it's WPKG 1.02 with Client 1.2.1. I tried it manually with 'cscript
\\server\wpkg\wpkg.js' but got no output.

I am also using WPKG Web Interface, BTW.

Bye,
Andreas

Two things to check:

1) is your config file present / correct (config.xml in the same
directory as wpkg.js)?
2) check if wpkg.js is not already running (just check if there is
another cscript process prior to starting cscript wpkg.js...).

I am pretty sure the config is fine since all other 55 clients are
running just fine with it...

I have not checked for other cscript processes, but I wonder where they
should come from - I tried this several times right after rebooting.

Bye,
Andreas

Well, I thought that by reinstalling IE6 I was also reinstalling WSH
5.6. I will give WSH 5.7 a try, but I don't like having "special"
machines which need different treatment like all others.

Have to reply to myself: This did not work.
Strangely, calling cscript tells me that it is Windows Scripting Host
5.1 (sic!) even after installing/updating with the WSH 5.7 install.
