Tested against wpkg 1.1.1.

The interpolation does NOT work for checks of type "registry" - example below.

It DOES work for the spaces-in-path-names, and APPEARS to work for checks on
file paths (though my tests were not so thorough).

The registry check example:


  <package id="login-no-show-previous-username"
    name="login-no-show-previous-username"
    revision="3" 
    priority="800"
    reboot="false">

    <variable name="regkey"
value="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system"/>
    <variable name="regvalue" value="DontDisplayLastUserName"/>

    <!-- This check will always fail, reporting the literal
    (uninterpolated path) does not exist) -->
    <check type="registry" condition="equals" path="%regkey%\%regvalue%"
value="1" /> 
    <!-- This check works -->
    <check type="registry" condition="equals"
path="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\DontDisplayLastUserName"
value="1" />

    <install cmd='reg add "%regkey%" /v "%regvalue%" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f' />

  </package>
