<br><tt><font size=2>This is a shot in the dark - is "show gui"
activated in the wpkg service? I had several packages behave oddly when
this was not active (stalling or failing).</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Does this behaviour occur also if you start the service
manually ("sc start wpkgservice") some minutes after full bootup?
Reason is that at bootup services in Win7 can be deferred - this may change
behaviour.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Last step would be watching the install with Process
Explorer and/pr Process Monitor.</font></tt>
