Double click on wpkginst.exe in %PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg - it will launch a 
setting window.

I do not know, where this setting is store at the client, i did not see it either in the registry in WPKG* keys, or in the server startup line (ImagePath C:\Program Files\wpkg\WPKGSrv.exe)

I always edit the file in the network location, by first importing it, changing values/properties, exporting it on top&  overwriting in-place. The push-script works perfectly, the file gets copied everytime the client workstation reboots.

Sorry, can't help you here, I never transformed a msi file as it's just 
too complicated and unreliable (as we can see above).

The supported way to change settings is to:

- launch the wpkginst.exe, or,
- http://wpkg.org/WPKG#Changing_WPKG_Client_settings
- upgrade the MSI and point it to a settings file:
