Hello,

It doesn't seem to work.

This is on Windows SP3 so it should have a recent version of Windows 
Installer.

I am using:

  <package
         id="wpkg"
         name="WPKG"
         revision="3"
         priority="100"
         reboot="false">

         <depends package-id="windows_installer_3"/>

         <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="WPKG" />

         <install cmd='msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\WPKG Client 
1.3.5.msi" SETTINGSFILE=%WPKGROOT%\settings.xml ALLUSERS=1 
REBOOT=ReallySuppress' >
                 <exit code="0" />
                 <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
         </install>
         <upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\WPKG Client 
1.3.5.msi" SETTINGSFILE=%WPKGROOT%\settings.xml ALLUSERS=1 
REBOOT=ReallySuppress' >
                 <exit code="0" />
                 <exit code="3010" reboot="postponed" />
         </upgrade>
         <remove cmd='msiexec /qn 
/x{FD883F05-6D6B-4E81-8FD7-B209FEF750CD}' />
   </package>

I get the following error:

2008-08-22 15:38:21, ERROR  : Could not process (upgrade) package 'WPKG' 
(wpkg):|Exit code returned non-successful value (1603) on command 
'msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\WPKG Client 1.3.5.msi" 
SETTINGSFILE=%WPKGROOT%\settings.xml ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress'.


Looking at the event view I see messages (in order):

by the following process Name: winlogon, id 904
