Use the following XML file to silently install it:

Please note that this package is not that easy to silently install. Mainly because it forks processes after installation which have to be terminated. Therefore you need the Microsoft Taskkill command installed for it to work.
An uninstall string is not yet provieded. As far as I recall I did not manage to get a fully unattended installation from Picasa :-(.
