WPKG Client upgrade
Computer scientists love recursion, or bootstrap, so this it a try to write a WPKG xml file that... installs itself.
Some theory first.
Upgrade will not work if WPKG service is running. Therefore, you have to kill WPKGsrv.exe process first. On XP, it can be done with taskkill command; on Windows 2000, which doesn't have taskkill command, you can use an external pskill command.

taskkill /F /IM WPKGSrv.exe

msiexec /norestart /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\WPKG Client 1.2.1.msi" ALLUSERS=1 SETTINGSFILE="%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\settings.xml"
