Sorry, but the server is now experiencing some sort of problems. I cannot
download beta-client, as the server drops connections right on the beggining of
the download, or after some Kb are downloaded. And the download is extremly
slow. I think you should check this out.
Again, works here - most likely a problem on your side.
But someone else could recommend if it works for them or not.

I think instead of wasting time on creating a transform file (too bad AD does
not let you specify MSI parameters)
OK.
you can just run a AD script:
cscript \pathtowpkg.js /install:wpkg
Easy enough.
Sorry, but I do not know whats does this accomplishes? Installs the client? Or
runs the WPKG normal cycle?
I would rather stick to MSI packages, as they allow seemless upgrade, when new
version is out. If it is not possible, I think, that server-mode deployment is
better then.
If you have "wpkg" package defined (including WPKG Client), it will
install WPK Client.
As AD is not able to handle MSI parameters (although it is advertised
that "it handles MSI"), or install exe and such, this was one of
motivations to write WPKG.
From experience, you'll have to decide if you want to use AD to deploy
packages or WPKG.
If you decide to use both, you'll likely to get confused one day, when
WPKG will install some package, then AD will remove it, then WPKG will
install it, and so on.
If you want seamless upgrades using MSI and parameters, Microsoft
recommends you to migrate to SMS.
