For this purpose I am using a bunch of scripts which deal with the installers.
Actually I am using this scripts for all my packages. It easily allows me to
adapt it to new applications without having to remember all the switches each
time. A generic "install.cmd" script helps me to execute the unattended
installation. The packages itself just need to call unattended.cmd for
install/upgrade and unattended-uninstall.cmd for remove.

Please find attached the latest set of sample scripts including a readme file
which should guide you how to used it.
Moreover the script do not only allow you to specify 32/64-bit installers but
also language-dependent installers. Currently I use it for EN/DE packages but
could be easily extended to support other/more languages too.

Rainer
