<install cmd='Z:\bin\todo.pl blabla.bat'> won't work, as the PC won't 
know what's Z:\ after Unattended installation is finished and the PC is 
rebooted.

It doesn't matter if you install software with Unattended or WPKG when 
you install the operating system + apps - use the method that's more 
convenient to you. I'd say Unattended is better during the first part, 
as you see what's going on.

You could also use WPKG during the Unattended part:

cscript \\..\..\wpkg.js /install:package1
cscript \\..\..\wpkg.js /install:package2

etc.

It's the later upgrade/new applications that make WPKG useful.
