Hmmm.

I changed the startup type from the default Automatic start to 
Automatic(Delayed Start) to see if that will address the network delay 
problem.

No, it does not.

However, I tested it multiple times and the WPKG service did start long 
after the network was available, when Automatic(Delayed Start) was enabled.

So, I am unsure if it is the network delay for my instance.

To take this one step further, I did the following:
In my settings.xml file - http://pastebin.com/d7b8b28a7 - my pre-action 
is to map a network share to X: and post-action is to tear down this 
network share after WPKG is done with its business. I modified my 
settings.xml file to perform pre-action and removed post-action.

Well, I rebooted the machine. WPKG was set to do a delayed start, which 
it did successfully, but nothing further. It did not execute the 
pre-action process of mapping a network share to X: There are no error 
logs entries in the Event viewer either.

> Did you check the event log to see why it fails?

I did, it _does_not_ fail. It successfully is initialized, but isn't 
doing anything after.

Here is what I found in chronological order in the Event Viewer:
  - WPKG Service trying start...
  - WPKG Service->RegisterServiceCtrlHandler: successfuly done
  - WPKG Service->SERVICE_START_PENDING: successfuly done
  - ServiceStart
  - Set script security context: successfuly done.
