This is a silent installer and uninstaller for Putty.
Putty is an SSH (and other secure protocol) client which allows you to open a terminal to your Unix server from Windows.

Note that the above causes a popup during uninstall. This is caused by putty 0.58+ uninstallers calling 'putty -cleanup-during-uninstall'. A (lame, and not properly tested) fix for this is to simply add the following extra line before the current <remove> line:
<remove cmd='cmd /c copy "%WINDIR%\system32\print.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\PuTTY\putty.exe"'/>
Here's a package.xml for distributing the putty.exe without the installer. It installs to the System32 folder for quick Start/Run access.
