Use the following command line to generate a help document:

cscript wpkg.js /help >wpkg_help.txt

Depending on the wpkg.js version you have installed, you may use the /forceinstall switch.

I really doubt this is needed, since installers seldom change the installed components, if the application is already installed.
I have always found it to be enough to have the applications checked for being installed.
