Computer scientists love recursion, or bootstrap, so this it a try to write a WPKG xml file that... installs itself.
<package

reboot="false">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="WPKG" />
<install cmd='msiexec /qb /i %SOFTWARE%\WPKG\WPKGSetup.msi SETTINGSFILE=%WPKGROOT%\settings.xml' />

<remove cmd='msiexec /qb /x{BD368683-C6EB-480A-B497-56CE35D59D28}' />

<package

<install cmd='%PROGRAMFILES%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe --SETTINGSFILE=%WPKGROOT%\settings.xml' />
<upgrade cmd='%PROGRAMFILES%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe --SETTINGSFILE=%WPKGROOT%\settings.xml' />
<remove cmd='echo "nothing"' />
</package>
I use this setup from now to install all the stuff with a single command; I've simply build up a batch file that defines the same environment variable defined in settings.xml and start directly wpkg.js, as:
:: Startup script for wpkg, for the first installation :: :: These are not (still) defined elsewhere, define it. :: set WPKGROOT=\\FILE\wpkg set SOFTWARE=\\MEDIA\Software set VPSERVER=MORPHEUS :: Call directly wpkg.js, note the %* at the end, that permit to add custom parameters... :: cscript %WPKGROOT%\wpkg.js /synchronize %*
