I achieved much the same thing by putting a wget script in the Auto-startup folder of Windows. Then I copy in this vmware windows virtual machine and start it. Then Windows itself downloads winetest and upon completion, does a shutdown -h now. (Via cygwin.) I often find cygwin a relief when working with Windows.
While I prefer the autorun approach because it has fewer dependencies on the Windows side and thus allows me to test in as clean a Windows as desired, your approach could be pretty useful for testing on a real Windows machine. Maybe if you post your script with some instructions it will inspire some people to set up automated testing on their real Windows machines. I'm sure it would make the Direct3D guys happy (if the testers have Nvidia ;-) ).
