The XML for my PhotoStory package is as follows:

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<packages>

<package id="photostory" name="Microsoft PhotoStory 3" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0" depends="mediaplayer10">
 <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Photo Story 3 for Windows" />
 <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\PhotoStory\photostory3.msi" /qb-' />
 <remove cmd='msiexec /x "%SOFTWARE%\PhotoStory\photostory3.msi" /qb-' />
 <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\PhotoStory\photostory3.msi" /qb-' />
</package>

</packages>

 

The package itself depends on the 'mediaplayer10' package which is defined seperately.

 

Out of curiousity, whereabouts or which schools do you support?  I've got WPKG going in 13 now, it has revolutionised the support I can offer!
