I've just started using wpkg and am impressed with its configuration and 
features. Keep up the good work! :)

Installing acrobat reader 7 (dutch) with wpkg 0.9.8.
As per the instructions in the silent installers section, I downloaded the 
installer, ran it, and copied the data1.cab and acrobat707nl.msi files to my 
server. I'm using this package configuration (simplified):

<package
        id="acrobat7"
        name="Acrobat Reader 7.0.7"
        revision="1"
        reboot="false"
        priority="0">
        <check type="file" condition="exists" path="C:\Program 
Files\Adobe\Acrobat 
7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" />
        <install 
cmd='msiexec /q /i "\\lx02-file\wpkg\packages\acrobat7\acrobat707nl.msi" 
allusers=1'>
                <exit code="1619" />
        </install>
</package>

This works. However, for the rest of my packages I use the %PACKAGES% 
environment variable (which is set to \\lx02-file\wpkg\packages in 
wpkg-start.bat). This doesn't work with the configuration above. Running 
wpkg.js /install:acrobat7 tells me it installs the package, then terminates 
before the installation is done because the post-install check fails (does 
the msiexec run in the background?). I've also tried with a 
condition="uninstall" check with the same result. I'm not sure if this is a 
bug in wpkg or in the acrobat installer  ...

Note that exit code 1619 is specific to the dutch version of acrobat 
installer.
