WPKG-GP Client relies on a modification of the original wpkg-gp which adds a necessary option to block automatic reboots if it was executed by the client. You can get the latest release here. If a wpkg package demands a reboot the user will be informed but not forced to reboot right away.
WPKG-GP Client is a simple gui program, all important stuff is still handled by the wpkg-gp service running in the background but it allows normal users with no elivated rights to start a wpkg update process and displays the progress information to the user. Besides this main function i can also inform the user of pending updates for their system.
The idea behind this tool was to bring a bit more information to user (important pending updates) and allow them to quickly update their system without having to restart it. It is also intended for systems on which completely automatic updates (boot-up or shutdown) are no valid option.
Keep in mind that your wpkg configuration should be tailored for executing while applications may still be running and you should add kill commands to your packages.
WPKG-GP Client is tested on Windows 7, Windows 8.1 as well as Windows 10. There will be no support for older versions of Windows.
Items are in order of planned completion, but this could always change in the future. Checked and crossed items are finished, items that are only checked are almost completed and can be tested.
