btw: you have a typo in "--SET_T_INGSFILE"

Try to start "wpkginst --settingsfile=settings.xml ALLUSERS=1" manually.
If the dialog shows up, your settings.xml is wrong. Fill in all
parameters, then export again as settings.xml.

Here is my wpkginst.xml which I use in production:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<packages>

        <package
           id="wpkginst"
           name="Wpkg installer"
           revision="2"
           reboot="true"
           priority="999">
	   <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="WPKG" />

           <install cmd="cmd /c start /min msiexec /qn /i
w:\wpkg\WPKGSetup.msi SETTINGSFILE=w:\wpkg\settings.xml ALLUSERS=1" />

	   <upgrade cmd="msiexec /qn /l* c:\netinst\logs\wpkginst.log /i
w:\wpkg\WPKGSetup.msi SETTINGSFILE=w:\wpkg\settings.xml"  />

	   <remove cmd="msiexec /qn /l* c:\netinst\logs\wpkgdel.log
/x{27A985C1-80D2-4EB9-81F6-D8B2EABE0DE6}"  />

        </package>

        <package
           id="wpkgoldremove"
           name="Wpkg Remover"
           revision="1"
           reboot="false"
           priority="999"
	   execute="once">
	   <depends package-id="wpkginst" />
           <install cmd='cmd /c net stop "Windows Packager"' >
	   <exit code="2" />
	   </install>
           <install cmd='cmd /c instsrv "Windows Packager" remove ' >
	   <exit code="1" />
	   </install>
	   <install cmd='cmd /c del /q /s "c:\netinst\wpkg"' />
        </package>

</packages>

Good luck,
Falko
