Perhaps because you didn't invent WPKG first :)

Seriously, check for example this installer:

http://wpkg.org/index.php/Microsoft_Windows_Journal_Viewer

<install cmd='\\server\share\updates\journalviewer\enu\setup.exe /q 
/c:"msiexec /l* %SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\journalviewer.txt /i 
""Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer.msi"" /qn"' >
<exit code="194" reboot="true" />
<exit code="1603" />
<exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
</install>
