The separate ping package idea is an acceptable way of doing this. Thanks!

Ctrl+Q allows to abort the WPKG client, but this is troublesome, since 
you might just break during an installation, which leaves the system in 
an unstable state.


In general silent installers are hard to abort.

One way would be to always include one package initially, that does 
nothing but "ping -n 11 localhost",  which results in a ten second delay.


The package could have the name "Press Crtl+Q to abort WPKG", which 
would be displayed, if the WPKG client is used and WPKG is started with 
the /sendStatus command line switch.
