This is a silent installer/upgrader but a non-silent uninstaller for CutePDF Writer. It can be downloaded from the Cute PDF website. Use the following XML to install it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packages>
 	<package id="cutewriter" 
 	name="CutePDF Writer" 
 	revision="27" 
 	priority="0" 
 	reboot="false">
 		<depends package-id="gplghostscript" />
 		<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="CutePDF Writer 2.7"/>
 		 
 		<install cmd="%SOFTWARE%\cutewriter\CuteWriter.exe /verysilent"/>
 		 
 		<upgrade cmd="%SOFTWARE%\cutewriter\CuteWriter.exe /verysilent"/>
 		 
 		<remove cmd="%PROGRAMFILES%\Acro Software\CutePDF Writer\uninscpw.exe /verysilent"/>
 	</package>
</packages>

This remove command still shows a dialogue box (without the /verysilent flag, it shows two) - you'd need to use an AutoIt script for a true silent uninstall. The software depends on Ghostscript in some form being installed on the machine; I used GPL Ghostscript.
