And that check will fail, as file version will not match yet.
The check will succeed on the next WPKG startup though.
This is intended.

I think killing WPKGSrv.exe will also kill its child processes:
- cscript ...\wpkg.js
    \- any other child of cscript

So I'm afraid that if we don't use "start" to start the script in 
background, taskkill would also kill our batch script, and prevent WPKG 
Client from upgrading?

Also, when using that approach, I think it is good to add:

    ping -n 120 127.0.0.1 >nul

to make sure WPKG doesn't continue while it's killed...
