Is there a way to avoid the password dialog if the installer was triggered
by wupdate?

Well, that would be a very bad idea because it would provide a backdoor into
your protected installation.

Of course, you can do whatever you want in your installation (even "skip"
the password dialog) -- it's your application.

You have many different options. For example, define your own command line
switch (e.g. /PA <password>), pass the password from the wupdate client to
the installer and then handle the password verification behind-the-scenes.
But it's a security risk!
