This seems like a case that chocolatey could handle better with the helper functions.

The simplest implementation to me would split Install-ChocolateyPackage into two functions, and then have Install-ChocolateyPackage just call them sequentially.

Then in cases like skype where you need to do an uninstall you could write something like...

$result = PrepareInstall-ChocolateyPackage $packageName $fileType $silentArgs $url
# do uninstall or whatever 
FinishInstall-ChocolateyPackage $result

Actually there is already a split - Install-ChocolateyPackage is just Get-ChocolateyWebFile and Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage.

So going to close this out.
