WPKG is designed to run without user interaction and in the context of 
an administrative user.

There is a file check of type execute which checks against the result 
(returned error code), but that is not suitable.

Your AutoIt program must return 0 (zero) or any other value, then you 
could use it as the first install command and the package installation 
would only proceed on the return of zero.

Still I think that the Administrator decides which software has to go on 
which computer and user has only the ability to use it or not, so there 
is no need to let the user decide what to install.
