Moved Picasa 3 above Picasa 2
Picasa 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.
 
 
== Picasa 3 ==
 
Picasa 3 by default installs to %PROGRAMFILES%\Google\Picasa3.
 
Silently installing Picasa 3 when Picasa 2 is installed will automatically remove Picasa 2.
 
Picasa Media Detector doesn't come with Picasa 3.
 
Note that Picasa uninstall will open a web browser to ask for feedback.
 
Use the following to perform a silent installation of Picasa 3.x:
 
<source lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<packages>
 
<package id='Picasa' name='Picasa' revision='2' priority='3' reboot='false' >
<check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='Picasa 3' />
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Picasa\picasa3-setup.exe" /S' />
<install cmd='cmd /C taskkill /F /IM Picasa3.exe' >
<exit code='1' />
<exit code='128' />
</install>
<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Picasa\picasa3-setup.exe" /S' />
<upgrade cmd='cmd /C taskkill /F /IM Picasa3.exe' >
<exit code='1' />
<exit code='128' />
</upgrade>
<remove cmd="%PROGRAMFILES%\Google\Picasa3\Uninstall.exe /S"/>
</package>
 
</packages>
</source>

<install cmd='cmd /C reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Picasa Media Detector" /f' />
