This was a brand new installation using unattended. As such, I might be 
able to reproduce it (fingers crossed!). Unfortunately I didn't think of 
checking the PROGRAMFILES directory on my prior attempt (it seems so 
obvious now).

Yes, nothing wrong here.

I suspect there might be an issue with when execute="once" - if the 
command fails (and returns failure) it won't get executed again - 
however I have more important issues to worry about first.

Hmm. The fact it worked when I run wpkg manually would suggest the paths
and permissions should be fine. Something really weird is going on here. 
I guess I should try it again with debugging enabled.
