Well, the Reply of David reminded me that I did not answer yet.
So here it comes.
For most applications I use a bunch of cmd scripts to install them.
First of all my generic installer ("install.cmd"). Then I use a simple
"unattended.cmd" batch file which makes use of "install.cmd".
For uninstall I am using a script called "unattended-uninstall.cmd".
The contents are quoted below.
Using these scripts the package definition looks almost the same for
every package:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<packages>
<package id='Pidgin' name='Pidgin IM' revision='254' priority='50'
reboot='false' >
<!-- Pidgin Instant Messaging -->
<check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='Pidgin' />
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Pidgin v.2.5.4\unattended.cmd"' />
<remove cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Pidgin v.2.5.4\unattended-uninstall.cmd"' />
<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Pidgin v.2.5.4\unattended.cmd"' />
<depends package-id='GTK' />
</package>
</packages>
Of course some programs might require different checks for 64-bit and
32-bit versions but WPKG supports that - just use logical OR expression
and specify both possibilities.
As you can see below my "unattended.cmd" script allows to specify
different installers for 32-bit (CMD32) and 64-bit (CMD64) packages.
Usually (32-bit only programs) they are identical.
Uninstall is a bit more difficult. For MSI packages it's quite easy
because the "install.cmd" script can be used again - this time supplying
the "msiuninstall" argument. You might just use a copy of the
"unattended.cmd" script and rename it to "unattended-uninstall.cmd" as
well. This also allows to add some pre- and post- execution scripts to
be invoked if they exist.
Other uninstall scripts might require invoking an uninstall EXE file
with specific parameters. My scripts take into account 32-bit and 64-bit
operating systems.
