I just tried on my system using your XML file and your CMD script and the result
was:

2009-06-22 21:46:17, DEBUG   : Variable taskname = WPKGServiceRestart
2009-06-22 21:46:17, DEBUG   : Executing command:
\\skynet\reminst\software\software.free\test\CheckTask.cmd
2009-06-22 21:46:18, DEBUG   : No execute condition specified, assuming exit
code of 0 to be successful, everything else to be unsuccessful
2009-06-22 21:46:18, DEBUG   : Execute check for program
'\\skynet\reminst\software\software.free\test\CheckTask.cmd' returned '2'.
Evaluating condition 'null' revealed false when comparing to expected value of '0'
2009-06-22 21:46:18, INFO    : Package 'Add Task to restart WPKG service'
(wpkgservicerestarttest): Not installed (checks failed). Preparing installation.


(the only thing I adapted was the path to CheckTask.cmd, and I called it .cmd,
the .bat extension should not be used any more).


>From your log I see that you seem to have used the correct WPKG version. But I
am quite sure your script exits with code 0. Maybe some encoding problem (of the
command script) or something similar. Did you try once to do the following:

start => run...
cmd.exe

then use your command:
\\OB1NWS801\WPKG\Software\scripts\CheckTask.bat

then type
echo %ERRORLEVEL%

if ERRORLEVEL is 0 then there is something wrong on your side with the script.

Rainer
