Check running time

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I suggest that you might consider making wpkg-gp do the following

1. Check how long it has been running, if it exceeds a treshold set
statically or from the Administrative Template, it should abort

The reason I suggest this is that:

Errors in wpkg xml files can lock a user out from his computer

Temporary workaround:

Disable installation of defect package and reboot the computer.

Where can this be changed?

Hi, we need to make a separate thread that has a timer, and when the timer 
times out, it should kill the pid that holds the wpkg.js process.

If you are talking about the workaround, you should disable the nonfunc package 
in your profiles.xml package. An issue would be that the setup process 
generates a modal dialog box that requires input. (A MsgBox e.g.) It cannot be 
shown at startup, therefore the setup process will hang indefinitely.
