Automation....like what? Do you mean driving WPS itself, or using the Installer object? If the latter, there's a ton of stuff both here and elsewhere on the Web. MSDN is a good place to start, along with downloading the Windows Installer SDK. For the former, I think macros are your only option: you could try the WPS forum at Altiris.com but I don't recall seeing anything of significance in my x years of participation there.

I agree that wps macro language support and examples are almost non-existent. OTOH, I've used them for repetitive tasks that have to be done on lots of packages. It's really just VBscript optimized for Windows Installer and Wise.

Hi guys,
There has been posts regarding wise automation at the Altiris forum, you just need to search the archived posts as they get archived after 180 days. There should be plenty of examples for you.
You may also want to have a look at Wise Automation Reference and Wise Software Repository Automation found at http://www2.wise.com/sysadmin_resources_page.asp
Cheers!

Ah....you need inside information, you see? Why is it so hard to find? Entering 'automation' into their search box produces NO link to the page you specified (or none that I could easily find, anyway). Indeed, the page that the link takes you to features the word 'automation' only in connection with Office.
