AFAIK, normal users are not allowed to delete or change files in 
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%?

Just use execute="always"? One kilobyte, is not much, you can copy it 
each time WPKG runs I guess?

See also a changelog for 1.1.x:

Added new check type: "execute". This allows you to execute any script
      which checks if an application is installed - based on the exit 
code of
      the script.
      Usage:
      type="execute" path="\\path\to\script.cmd"
          condition="exitcodesmallerthan" value="0"
              Evaluates true if the exit code is negative

You could use any "hash" etc.


However, remember that WPKG makes checks only once after installation.
