so I am gathering that doing it this way makes more sense (the exit code
in 'upgrade' section and subsequent reboot=true will override the
reboot=false in the main section)...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <packages>
  <package
    id="itunes"
    name="Apple iTunes"
    revision="8.1.1.10"
    reboot="false"
    priority="1">
  <check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%
PROGRAMFILES%\iTunes\iTunes.exe" value="8.1.1.10"/>
  <install cmd="msiexec.exe /qn /norestart /i %SOFTWARE%\iTunes\8.1.1.10
\iTunes.msi" />
  <upgrade cmd="msiexec.exe /qn /i %SOFTWARE%\iTunes\8.1.1.10
\iTunes.msi">
   <exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
   <exit code="0" />
  </upgrade>
  <remove cmd="msiexec.exe /qn /uninstall
{5EFCBB42-36AB-4FF9-B90C-E78C7B9EE7B3}" />
  </package>
 </packages>

Thanks
