If you run msiexec /i __PATHTOPACKAGE__ /qn

The /qn will run the install with no user interface, ie it is silent,
however if you want it unattended you may need to supply extra
properties on the command line or apply a transform (.mst) file.

If you want to install 7Zip with default settings the above will work.

  What about installing an exe using
> wpkg in conjunction with AutoIT?

I think AutoIT needs an explorer shell to run in, and if you are using
WPKG as a startup script before login it may not work.

Besides, anything you can run on the command line can be run in WPKG
(if there are many command lines to run putting them in a batch file
is a good idea.
