This is fine - except the wrong remove command as outlined by Leon.

So this means you have the package in both files:
- packages.xml
- packages/imageresize.xml

This is not needed. Either remove it from packages.xml or remove 
imageresize.xml. WPKG will read both files - but the latter one will 
overwrite the previous one as the packages need to be unique (by id).

As outlined by Leaon your remove command seems to be broken. I guess you 
would see some errors in your logs about failed msiexec. WPKG will 
continue to try uninstalling the package. To fix that you might fix your 
remove command definition and increase the package version. Then WPKG 
will first do an upgrade (including also the new remove command) and 
then correctly uninstall it.
