It really says so? :)
Could you point me where exactly, it's not true, if it's in the wiki, it 
needs to be fixed.

Maybe with AutoIT, but in reality I doubt it.

Mostly programs have some "hidden" silent, command line options.
Sometimes it's just hard to know which one, as there is no standard here.

For Quicktime, you can find a silent installer in the wiki:

For iTunes, you'll have to search the web I guess.
