SPGlobalAdmin.AddWPPack method
NOTE: This API is now obsolete.
Use the SPSolution class and other related solution objects to deploy Web Parts instead. (In Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, the AddWPPack method either enabled a Web Part package that was already installed on the virtual server and added it to the Web Part gallery, or installed and enabled a Web Part package and added it to the Web Part gallery, and is maintained for backward compatibility.)

Parameters
strPathname
Type: System.StringA string that contains the full file system path for the Web Part package to install. If not specified, strName must be specified. The strPathname parameter is used in conjunction with the strURL parameter. If strURL contains a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the Web Part package is installed on all virtual servers on the front-end Web server; otherwise, the package is installed on the virtual server specified by strURL.
strBaseName
Type: System.StringA string that contains the file name of the installed Web Part package to enable. If not specified, strPathname must be specified. The strName parameter is used in conjunction with the strURL parameter. If strURL contains a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the Web Part package is enabled for all virtual servers on the front-end Web server; otherwise, the package is enabled for the virtual server specified by strURL.

strUrl
Type: System.StringA string that contains the URL for the virtual server. The strURL parameter is used in conjunction with the strName or strPathname parameter. If strURL is set to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the Web Part Package specified by the strName parameter is enabled for all virtual servers on the front-end Web server, or the Web Part package specified by the strPathname parameter is installed on all virtual servers on the front-end Web server.
bGlobalInstall
Type: System.Booleantrue to install the Web Part package to each front-end Web server in a server farm; otherwise, false.
bForce
