The long hexnumber is the Uninstall-ID (see below). This always works, also with minorversion updates.
''Answer'' The long hex number.
== Localized builds ==
The best way to install a localized build (in my opinion) is to install localized language packs in addition to the English installer. This way the user can choose if they want to have the English interface or the localized one. An example for the Estonian language pack:
<!--<blockquote stylesource lang="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;xml">--><pre>
<package id="ooo-2.x-et"
name="OpenOffice.org 2.0 Language Pack (Eesti)"
<remove cmd='"msiexec" /x{9F5CAB24-B19E-42FD-AF8D-774C5C36A7FB} /qn' />
</package>
</pre><!--</blockquote>--source>
See the new documentation [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Automatic_Installation_on_Windows Automatic Installation on Windows at the OpenOffice.org Wiki] for a detailed documentation of all the MSI properties.
== Alternative install ==
Here's another possibility:
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="OpenOffice.org 2.0" />
<!-- install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\OpenOffice\enu\setup.exe -r:\\server\share\OpenOffice\officeop.txt -D:\"%ProgramFiles%\OpenOffice.org\" -debug -net' -->
<install cmd='cmd /c del /s /q "%TEMP%\ooo"' />
<remove cmd="msiexec /qb /l* c:\netinst\logs\openoffice.log x{C3B3C054-0F00-4BC3-9A90-9C6B3EF4201F}" />
