GUI / graphical client installation mode
The "WPKG execution context" user is the user that "executes all commands". This user probably has to have administrative privileges on the local machine to be able to do most interesting installs. By default, WPKG Client sets this to SYSTEM (no password needed), which is a recommended and secure setting. If your software vendor ships installers which fail to install as a SYSTEM user (i.e., have a hardcoded check to see if they are started as an Administrator), you may consider using a local or a domain Administrator credentials here. Also, if any of your installation scripts require access to network shares (other than the share where the script and configuration files are) then you can set this to a user that has administrative privileges on the local machine and also read (or read/write) privileges on the necessary network shares.
 
NOTE: unless you understand Windows networking very well, using one single share for both software (installers) and WPKG (wpkg.js,
config.xml, package definitions) is the recommended one.
