Hello,

Ok, I'm able to give them a try now ;-)

The uninstall.cmd requires to be in a version-specific directory, which
is ok.

As a leasy man, is it possible to use the revision as a variable ?

Something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<packages>

<package id='Pidgin'
         name='Pidgin IM'
         revision='2.5.4'
         priority='50'
         reboot='false' >
  <!-- Pidgin Instant Messaging -->
  <check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='Pidgin' />
  <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Pidgin\%revision%\unattended.cmd"' />
  <remove cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Pidgin\%revision%\unattended-uninstall.cmd"' />
  <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Pidgin\%revision%\unattended.cmd"' />
  <depends package-id='GTK' />
</package>
</packages>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Regards.
