wpkg.js is the most important file of WPKG and can be seen as its internal engine.
It has to be executed with cscript.exe (a command-line version of the Windows Script Host) or wscript.exe (the windows-based script host; not recommended) like below:
cscript \\path\to\wpkg.js [flags]
For example:
cscript \\path\to\wpkg.js /synchronize /quiet
would synchronize all packages (install, uninstall or upgrade packages if there is such a need).
It assumes that hosts.xml, packages.xml and profiles.xml configuration files exist in the same directory as wpkg.js (in our example, it would be \\path\to\).
For a list of WPKG flags, see this page.
Windows Script Host can be downloaded from Microsoft. Windows XP and Windows 2003 have the suitable version 5.6 included by default; the version included with Windows 2000 is too old and so requires you to download a more recent version.
