copy the wpkg.xml files to a share like this:

<package id="wpkglog" name="wpkg.xml files from workstations"
revision="1" priority="0" execute="always">
        <install timeout="15" cmd='cmd /C copy /Y
"%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\wpkg.xml"
"\\serwer\hostlogs\%COMPUTERNAME%-wpkg.xml"' />
</package>

For the reports use this:

or parse it with your favorite scripting language.
