You guys are awesome!
Thank you for your suggestions. I really appreciate your time on this.
From next time I will definitely make use of SEARCH option on this forum.
By the way I'm new to Application Packaging and this FORUM has been very helpful.

Coming to the uninstall, i would opt for SILENT uninstall as it is the requirement. I don't know much about VBScripting but give it a try [googling :-)].
Thanks for all your help guys! You guys ROCK! Have a good one.

Thanks,
