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, 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
You need Windows Installer 3.1 installed to upgrade WPKG if the service is running (or any other Windows MSI package, where the software runs during the upgrade).

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>
