Hello,
about wapt 1.7.4
on Windows 7 and 10.
I have a quick question
The waptservice is installed on my client machines.
Is it still necessary to configure a Group Policy Object (GPO) to launch C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\waptexit.exe in the shutdown script section?
This is to initiate package installations.

This is to launch the package installation.
The waptagent.exe installer automatically creates a local GPO that launches waptexit when the computer shuts down. Therefore, it's no longer necessary to do it manually (I think this has been the case at least since version 1.3, maybe even 1.2...). :-)

Sincerely,

Denis

I had read some old documentation when setting up WAPT.
I removed the waptexit.exe launch from the GPO;

thanks again.
