For the former case I have had to resort to a scheduled task running
every 15 minutes doing net stop and net start on the service. There
doesn't seem to be an option to run once some period after login, but
it can be set to run periodically starting at login. 15 minutes was
chosen to reduce the risk of stopping wpkg while it was doing an
installation, against the risk of the laptop being shut down before it
had started - many lessons are only 15 minutes long.

Using wpkginst, if you set the service to stop after work, you can run
the "net start wpkgservice" even every minute - it won't hurt. You don't
need "net stop wpkgservice", and if "net start wpkgservice" is too soon,
there's only a message that the service is running, yet.

Neat. I like it. Now I just need to find the instructions on using
wpkg to update its own settings file - I'm sure I saw it on wpkg.org
somewhere.


Fine. I have a package for this - of course you could only use the line with wpkginst --SETTINGSFILE=...:

        <package
           id="wpkginst"
           name="WPKG Client 1.3.14"
           revision="7"
           reboot="false"
           priority="10">
        
                <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="WPKG" />
<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\wpkginst.exe" value="1.0.0.22" />
        
<install cmd='msiexec /norestart /qn /l* c:\netinst\logs\wpkginst.log /i "%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\WPKG32-1314.msi" ALLUSERS=1 SETTINGSFILE="%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\settings.xml"' >
                        <exit code="3010" />
                </install>
        
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /norestart /qn /l* c:\netinst\logs\wpkginst.log /i "%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\WPKG32-1314.msi" ALLUSERS=1 SETTINGSFILE="%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\settings.xml"' >
                        <exit code="3010" />
                </upgrade>
<upgrade cmd="%PROGRAMFILES%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe --SETTINGSFILE=%SOFTWARE%\wpkg\settings.xml" />
        </package>
