Hi all,
Just one thing that might still behave in a controllable way:
<install cmd="..." />
<upgrade cmd="..."/>
<upgrade inherit="install"/>
This way one only needs define the common tasks once and can place them at the
appropriate position before, after or in between the up-/downgrade command
sequence.
About Java, I have managed to reduce the complexity of most of my packages by
using the variable definition capability of WPKG and the command prompt.
Example:
>>
<package
id="JRE6"
name="Java Runtime Environment 6"
revision="%JRE_VER%"
reboot="false"
priority="30">
<!--<depends package-id="JRE5remove" />-->
<variable name="JRE_PREV_VER" value="19" />
<variable name="JRE_VER" value="20" />
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Java.TM. 6 Update
[0-9]+" />
<check type="logical" condition="or">
<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal"
path="%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" value="6.0.%JRE_VER%0" />
<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal"
path="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" value="6.0.%JRE_VER%0" />
</check>
<!-- stop quick start service -->
<install cmd="%ComSpec% /c net stop JavaQuickStarterService">
<exit code="2" />
</install>
<!-- remove 32-bit version -->
<install cmd="%ComSpec% /c for /L %V in (0,1,9) do msiexec /passive /x

<exit code="1605" />
</install>
<install cmd="%ComSpec% /c for /L %V in (10,1,%JRE_PREV_VER%) do

Adding the inherit attribute would reduce the upgrade to one single line, which
would be nice to have too.
