For a while I used AutoIT for my Brio Query (Hyperion) install before I
figured out the java installer.  It worked OK, but in my case, I had to make
sure that someone was logged in (explorer.exe process was running).
 Otherwise, AutoIT can't really interact with the UI.  I don't remember if I
was running wpkg as a service then, or not, but if so, you might have to
allow it to "interact with the user's desktop" (provided that you are on
WinXP).

When I was using the AutoIT install method, it would usually install on the
first try about 50% of the time.  When it failed, wpkg would successfully
install it after a reboot.

In summary, as a last resort, it should probably work "most of the time" but
it may not always be reliable.
