I tested once again, and it works just fine. I just had a script in 
"execute before" which was exiting very fast with a non-zero exit code...

Otherwise, it works fine on system shutdown on Windows 2000 SP4.

Could you re-verify that it works for you?

One note: when you make changes in wpkginst.exe (i.e. schedule on 
shutdown, before was on startup), the changes will be available when you 
restart the WPKG service (or machine).
So if you made a change in wpkginst.exe it is proper behaviour that you 
didn't see it when you made a shutdown right after that.

Perhaps a "notice" window should be shown to a user to make this clear.
