Just to add to the discussion - see thread "wpkg via Group Policies" here - and
an idea of using mailslots:

http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/2008-February/thread.html#2627

Basically, the idea is to have a program which would tell WPKG service what to
display, i.e., consider you have the following install instructions for a
package:


<install cmd='unzip_everything.exe' /> 
<install cmd='instal_fonts.exe' /> 
<install cmd='install_plugins.exe' />
<install cmd='install_main_program.exe' />



We could start a program which tells WPKG Client to display what we want, for
example:

<install cmd='%WPKGPATH%\wpkgMessage.exe /message "Installing Big Package..."'
/>
<install cmd='unzip_everything.exe' /> 
<install cmd='unzip_everything.exe' /> 
<install cmd='%WPKGPATH%\wpkgMessage.exe /message "Installing fonts for Big
Package..."' />
<install cmd='instal_fonts.exe' /> 
<install cmd='%WPKGPATH%\wpkgMessage.exe /message "Installing plugins for Big
Package..."' />
<install cmd='install_plugins.exe' />
<install cmd='%WPKGPATH%\wpkgMessage.exe /message "Installing remaining files
for Big Package..."' />
<install cmd='install_main_program.exe' />
<install cmd='%WPKGPATH%\wpkgMessage.exe /clear' />


It looks like a clean and a very elastic solution.
What do you think?
