The wrapper was created in order to support launching wpkg.js with 64-bit WSH 
(cscript.exe) launched from WPKG client 32-bit. It was done at a time where 
there was no 64-bit WPKG client available. Nowadays most ways to execute WPKG 
support invoking the 64-bit WSH binary directly. Therefore wrapper.js is 
supposed to be completely obsolete.

You're right. Nowadays there is no need to use it any more. So I am open to 
discuss about removing it from the WPKG distribution.

Anyone still using wrapper.js?
