I am currently achieving this with variables or pattern matching:

    <package id="SevenZip"
            name="7-Zip"
            revision="%PKG_VERSION%"
            reboot="false"
            priority="10">

        <variable name="PKG_VERSION"     value="9.20" />
        <variable name="PKG_MSI_VERSION" value="920" />
        <variable name="PKG_DEST"        value="%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip"
    architecture="x86"/>
        <variable name="PKG_DEST"
value="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\7-Zip" architecture="x64"/>

        <check type="uninstall" condition="versiongreaterorequal"
path="7-Zip .+"            value="%PKG_VERSION%" />
        <check type="file"      condition="versiongreaterorequal"
path="%PKG_DEST%\7zFM.exe" value="%PKG_VERSION%" />

        <install cmd='msiexec /passive /i
"%SOFTWARE%\NT-Install\7-Zip\7z%PKG_MSI_VERSION%_%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%.msi"'
>
            <exit code="1641" />
        </install>

        <upgrade cmd='msiexec /passive /i
"%SOFTWARE%\NT-Install\7-Zip\7z%PKG_MSI_VERSION%_%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%.msi"'
>
            <exit code="1641" />
        </upgrade>

        <remove cmd='msiexec /passive /x
"%SOFTWARE%\NT-Install\7-Zip\7z%PKG_MSI_VERSION%_%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%.msi"'>
            <exit code="1605"/>
        </remove>
    </package>
