Hello,

Here we use simple cmd script to handle this[1], the WPKG package looks
like this:

#v+
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<packages>
  <package
      id='ultravnc'
      name='UltraVNC'
      revision='1.0.8.2.2'
      reboot='false'
      priority='500'>

    <check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='UltraVNC 1.0.8.2'/>
    <check type='file' condition='versionequalto' 
           path='%ProgramFiles%\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe'
           value='1.0.8.2'/>
    <check type='file' condition='exists' path='%PROGRAMFILES%\UltraVNC\ultravnc.ini' />
    <check type='execute' path='findstr /R /C:"passwd=$" "%PROGRAMFILES%\UltraVNC\ultravnc.ini" > NUL' condition='exitcodeequalto' value='1' />
    <check type='execute' 
           path='%ComSpec% /c netsh firewall show allowedprogram | find /I "winvnc.exe" > NUL'
           condition='exitcodeequalto' value='0' />

    <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\ultravnc\1.0.8.2\install.cmd"'/>

    <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\ultravnc\1.0.8.2\install.cmd"'/>

    <remove cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\ultravnc\1.0.8.2\remove.cmd"'/>

  </package>
</packages>
#v-

and the install.cmd:

#v+
@echo off

REM Do not export variables
SETLOCAL

set PROGRAM_NAME=UltraVNC 1.0.8

REM Command to run
set CMD32=ultravnc_1.0.8.2_setup.exe
set CMD64=ultravnc_1.0.8.2_x64_setup.exe
set CMD_PATH=%~dp0
set CMD_OPTS=/loadinf=%CMD_PATH%ultravnc.inf

REM Unattended installer
set INSTALLER=unattended.cmd
set INSTALLER_TYPE=innoinstall
set INSTALLER_LOC=%~dp0


:install
echo Installing %PROGRAM_NAME%

call "%INSTALLER_LOC%%INSTALLER%" %INSTALLER_TYPE% "%CMD32%" "%CMD64%" "%CMD_PATH%" "%CMD_OPTS%"
set EXIT_CODE=%ERRORLEVEL%


:end
exit /B %EXIT_CODE%

REM End of local variables
ENDLOCAL

REM Local Variables:
REM mode: cmd
REM comment-start: "REM "
REM comment-end: ""
REM End:
#v-

The inf file:

#v+
[Setup]
Lang=fr
Dir=C:\Program Files\UltraVNC
Group=UltraVNC
NoIcons=0
SetupType=server_silent
Components=ultravnc_server_s
Tasks=
#v-

Note for myself: test if I can remove the "Dir" in the inf file to let the
                 installer detect it automatically ;-)

Regards.
