I think that's what happened to me :-(

I installed WPKG originally as local Administrator.  However, I set WPKG
to *run* as 'SYSTEM' as suggested.  When I tried updating the WPKG
settings using 'wpkginst.exe' the permissions of %ProgramFile%\WPKG went
away, meaning that WPKG would not subsequently launch.

I think I need to reinstall WPKG on each client using ALLUSERS, (or
'Everyone' in the GUI installer).

Dave.
