Silent switches, like /qb, /S, etc.., are good ONLY in case you are satisfied with default installation features of a product.If you are not satisfied with features installed by default when using a silent switch, then you'd better use a script like JS, VBS, AI, ect... As you can see, I suggest repackaging (with InstallRite or whatever) to be the last approach in case you don't like silent switches or scripts. However, the main reason I started using InstallRite for is to repackage filters for Adobe Photoshop. I use many of them and it's tiring and boring to install them. One last word concerning InstallRite is to install the KITS on a similar system you create them on. Sure!
