Here is what we use:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<packages>
  <package
      id='wpkg-at'
      name='Run WPKG at a time'
      revision='1'
      reboot='false'
      priority='100'>

    <variable name='ATTIME' value='12:30 /every:l,ma,me,j,v'/>
    <variable name='ATCMD' value='sc start wpkgservice'/>

    <check type='execute' path='%ComSpec% /c at | find "%ATCMD%" > NUL'/>

    <install cmd='at %ATTIME% %ATCMD%/>

    <remove cmd='at | "%SOFTWARE%\gnu\gawk.exe" "/%ATCMD%/ { system(\"at \" $1 \" /delete\") }"'/>

    <upgrade cmd='at | "%SOFTWARE%\gnu\gawk.exe" "/%ATCMD%/ { system(\"at \" $1 \" /delete\") }"'/>
    <upgrade cmd='at %ATTIME% %ATCMD%'/>

  </package>
</packages>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This requires gawk.exe.

NB: commands with pipes need to be start in a shell (%ComSpec%).

Regards.
