Why do you use 1.3.5 for XP and 1.3.6 for Seven? is it no beta version? 
what change from 1.3.5 to 1.3.6, am i wrong to deploy 1.3.9?

What do you mean?
I have to do a script which return me if %programfiles(x86)% exist, if 
it's true, i run %programfiles(x86)%\soft\uninstall.exe

So i have to do 2 packages, one for 32bits, one with logical check (is 
sofware install and is 64bits) which run 
%programfiles(x86)%\soft\uninstall.exe and an other with logical check 
(is sofware install and is 32bits) which run 
%programfiles%\soft\uninstall.exe
