No, because i completely remove the ''bundled'' lightning addon, and
install instead a ''system wide'' one, obviously by WPKG:

	<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\Thunderbird Setup 38.5.1.exe" /INI="%WPKGROOT%\packages\thunderbird.ini"' />
	<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c if exist "%ProgramFiles32%\Mozilla Thunderbird\distribution\extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}" rd /q /s "%ProgramFiles32%\Mozilla Thunderbird\distribution\extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}"' />

the 'distribution' folder mean the, at first start, the extensions get
installed/upraded IN THE USER EXTENSION FOLDER, so user by user.


I prefer to unpack extensions to system wide folder:

	<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c if not exist "%ProgramFiles32%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}" md "%ProgramFiles32%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}"' />
	<install include="upgrade" />
	<upgrade cmd='%WPKGROOT%\tools\unzip -oqq "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\lightning-4.0.4.1.xpi" -d "%ProgramFiles32%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}"'/>

so user profile get not clobbered, and i can fine-grain control
upgrades.
