Does it display any GUI? Did you use silent flags etc.?

Hmm. Apart from being started as a non-Administrator, could be confused 
because WPKG Client starts everything on a "fake" display (so that users 
can't interact with the installers).

Try this:

1) set "Show GUI" in WPKG Client
2) set "notepad" as a pre-command in WPKG Client
3) reboot, log in, exit notepad, and watch what happens

Also, you can put "cmd.exe" as a pre-command, and start "cscript wpkg.js 
/synchronize /debug" manually from there.

DirectX log doesn't tell me anything, sorry. Try asking Microsoft, they 
should know more ;)

Did you change it in Control Panel, or by changing settings in WPKG 
Client? If in Control Panel, it's wrong.
