Workaround
Icon on the desktop that kicks off wpkg in the background (psexec to run as another user or autoit (that's new to me) might help here, then logs out user leaving wpkg running then your last wpkg package shuts down PC, or more elegantly wpkg reports its finished and auto it waits for that dialogue box to appear then shuts down pc.

Thanks. This is what I ended up doing. I had tried doing it on shutdown, but Windows 7 wasn't waiting long enough for Wpkg to finish up if there were a lot of updates; it would just shut everything down after a minute or so, in the middle of the installs.  (Is there a way to make Windows wait longer during shutdown?)
