If there's a command window, you may have run into the WSH stdout-buffer 
bug. Does your installer output something into the command windows? If 
it's too much, you'll need to redirect it to >NUL.

Are there any children hanging under the cscript.exe running wpkg? This 
may give you a clue what process is hanging. If it's a cmd.exe directly 
under cscript, it certainly may be the stdout-bug. That points to 
redirecting the output of the script to >NUL
