You could even upgrade WPKG (server side) without changing the client 
side at all.

No. I don't think this is the way to go. We are building up a 
state-of-the-art software deployment environment and then we should 
install one of the core components using a "hacky" cmd script? NO!

Probably switching to NSIS could be an alternative too. Just make sure 
the /S switch works properly ;-)
However currently it's clearly a resource problem. WPKG 1.0 is quite 
stable, WPKG 1.1 is collecting new features and WPKG client suffers from 
some upgrade problems and probably also the delayed logon feature needs 
further investigation. So if somebody could provide some assistance here...
