This is a silent installer and uninstaller for Blender, a open source 3D modeling problem.
The package below works for v2.43 but will NOT work for versions 2.44-version 2.47 due to a 49b [httpshttp://projectswww.blender.org/trackerdownload/get-blender/index.php?func=detail&aid=17651&group_id=9&atid=125 bug] in the install script used by Blender which causes it to prompt for user input even thought it was launched silent mode.installs without problem :
<source lang="xml">
<package id="blender" name="Blender" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0"> <depends package-id="vc2005-redist"/>
<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Blender Foundation\Blender\blender.exe" />
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\blenderdivers\blender-2.4349b-windows.exe" /S' /> <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\blenderdivers\blender-2.4349b-windows.exe" /S' /> <remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\Blender Foundation\Blender\Uninstall.exe" /S' />
</package>

There were problems with version < 2.47 (or greater?) due to a [https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=17651&group_id=9&atid=125 bug] in the install script used by Blender which causes it to prompt for user input even thought it was launched silent mode.
The uninstaller has the same problem too even for v2.43. It needed the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable too.
