The most usual way of running WPKG is usually when a user logs in...
At least that's the way i do:

* User logs in
* WPKG startup script is in his startup group
* When run, it updates his software

For instance - for VNC i have a registry file:

==================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORL\WinVNC3]
"SocketConnect"=dword:00000001
"AutoPortSelect"=dword:00000001
"InputsEnabled"=dword:00000001
"LocalInputsDisabled"=dword:00000000
... and so on
==================

When a user logs in and does not have the VNC package installed, the
registry is imported into *his* HKCU and VNC is installed. The VNC
install is configured in a way that if another user in the same
machine has already installed this version, it is not reinstalled.

thats it.

cheers,
