Initial WPKG Client deployment
WPKG Client is available as a MSI package.
It can be installed silently from command line or in a script like below:
msiexec /norestart /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\WPKG Client 1.2.1.msi" ALLUSERS=1 SETTINGSFILE="%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\settings.xml"
If you have wpkg.js already configured, you can simply add the XML file below (see "WPKG Client upgrade") to your packages/profiles and run:
cscript \\path\to\wpkg.js /synchronize /quiet
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.

Here is wpkg_upgrade.bat script:
taskkill /F /IM WPKGSrv.exe
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul
msiexec /norestart /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\WPKG Client 1.2.1.msi" ALLUSERS=1 SETTINGSFILE="%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\settings.xml"
exit

Other
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 %*
Copy wpkg.xml entry from workstation to the server:
<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>
