WPKG can use environmental variables.

See wpkg-start.bat.examples file that comes in the package:

:: You can also use variables...

set WPKGROOT=\\server\wpkg
set PACKAGES=%WPKGROOT%\packages
%WPKGROOT%\wpkg.js /synchronize /debug

:: ...and then, you can put into packages.xml something like:

<install cmd='%PACKAGES%\test\test.exe -silent' />
