Hmm, it might work if you just copy all the %ProgramFiles%\wpkg files to 
the host. Additionally you need to add the service to start WPKG at 
Windows startup. To achieve this you might be able to export 
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WpkgService and import it on the 
target machine. I am not sure if WPKG client adds this entry by itself 
or if there is a switch to the wpkginst.exe binary to achieve this. 
Probably Tomasz Chmielewski can answer this.

Whatever "unusual way" means. Well, a WPKG client developer might give 
some comments to this as well.
