Another approach might be to look at what is done my Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc. I am not sure of the details, I think it is something like: * The user starts the program, and it checks for updates. * The program downloads the update. * The next time the program is restarted it checks for downloaded updates * If there is a downloaded update, it hands over control to the update, killing itself at the same time. * The update installs itself and then runs the program. So you might be able to have wpkg automatically copy the *.msi package to the user's computer and have the wpkg start the installation automatically on the next reboot.
