Fine. I have a package for this - of course you could only use the line 
with wpkginst --SETTINGSFILE=...:

	<package
	   id="wpkginst"
	   name="WPKG Client 1.3.14"
	   revision="7"
	   reboot="false"
	   priority="10">
	
		<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="WPKG" />
		<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" 
path="%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\wpkginst.exe" value="1.0.0.22" />
	
		<install cmd='msiexec /norestart /qn /l* c:\netinst\logs\wpkginst.log 
/i "%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\WPKG32-1314.msi" ALLUSERS=1 
SETTINGSFILE="%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\settings.xml"' >
			<exit code="3010" />
		</install>
	
		<upgrade cmd='msiexec /norestart /qn /l* c:\netinst\logs\wpkginst.log 
/i "%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\WPKG32-1314.msi" ALLUSERS=1 
SETTINGSFILE="%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\settings.xml"' >
			<exit code="3010" />
		</upgrade>
		<upgrade cmd="%PROGRAMFILES%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe 
--SETTINGSFILE=%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\settings.xml"  />
	</package>
