I'm speaking about 'logon delay' feature of WPKG...

Clearly i'm completely wrong. The 'logon/logoff delay' feature are done
by the way of wpkgMessage.exe, and the fact that WPKGServ.exe service
helper does not run imply that pre, wpkg.js and post script cannot be
run.

Indeed in wpkgMessage.exe have to be added some logic that check for
the status of WPKGServ.exe service/process, and if died or stalled,
exit.


I hope now i was clear.


PS: at least the fact that everytime i try to stop WPKGServ service
 they go in a spurious state and i have to manually kill it can be
fixed? It is very annoying...
