Hi Brad,

I would rather devide the uninstall and install into two different packages,
one for deinstalling 1.4.3 and one for installing 1.4.4 and perhaps make
one depend from the other.
If uninstall of 1.4.3 and install of 1.4.4 is in the same
package and the uninstall fails, you leave the user without working svn.
If the install comes first, uninstall second in same package and one
install line fails, after reboot (or service restart) wpkg sees the new
version installed and never does the uninstall cmds.

To have more information about why the (un)install fails, add
  /l* %SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\tortoisesvn.txt
to the msiexec line to have a log file.

Of course you could have another package to transfer the log files from
the client to a writable share on your server.
