If you would like a simpler way to do it... just create a bat or cmd file with this:
@echo off
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 15000 >NUL:
setup.exe
This will work on nt, w2k w2k3, wxp and you will not have to use a autoit script or compiled exe.
The trick is that you have to pick a non existant ip address (1.1.1.1) send 1 packet to it (-n 1) and wait 15000 millseconds.

Use Addusers.exe from the windows resource kits. It works a lot better.
a description of what it does:

Unfortunately I cannot find a download of addusers.exe at microsoft.

in the command line type
msiexec /i c:\install.msi /l*v c:\log.log
where
c:\install.msi is the path and file name of your msi file
c:\log.log is the path and file name of your log file you want to create or overwrite.

Isscript.msi is the Installshield script engine. Installshield puts custom actions in there MSI files (that it creates) that rely on a external script processor.. the script engine is the external processor.
Installshield then wraps the two msi files in a exe with other files to check to make sure MSI is installed and the the script engine is installed. This exe is like a all in one solution instead of having the users download a script engine and the install.
after you have the script engine installed you normally do not have to reinstall it but sometimes installshield changes versions and the main install MSI may fail.
I normally include it because that way it always works.

You are correct to make completely silent change the \qb to \qn.
To change the install directory just add installdir={directory you want to install into} before the \qn or \qb
I also corrected the version number to 6, my mistake.

Complete CuteFTP Professional 6 MSI install instructions
Download and run the install exe before you click on next button, There should be a directory in the %temp% directory with the following files "CuteFTP 6 Professional.msi" and "isscript.msi".
To perform the install run the following command (batch file) with the two msi files in the same directory.
@echo off
msiexec /i "isscript.msi" /qb
msiexec /i "CuteFTP 6 Professional.msi" issetupdriven=1 allusers=1 installlevel=1 reboot=reallysuppress /qb
echo done installing CuteFTP Professional 6
pause
You still have to register the copy but it is installed.

After the Hp 4215 all in one is installed as the administrator it works fully. When you login as a user and plug in the all in one it has to initialize to work. This does not work as a "user" the person has to be a power user or administrator.
Has anyone found the rights issues or fix to allow it to initialize without issue?
Just using a windows 2000 slipsteamed sp4 install. No nlite or other utility to change the install.

it is actually in explorer.exe and what you do it resource edit the file and save it to another name and change a registry entry.
Look at http://www.overclockinghq.com/articles/renamestartmenu.php it walks you through it.

Complete Quicken 2005 MSI install instructions
Off of the CD (or if you have another method you will have to look for it). There should be a directory with the following files "Quicken 2005.msi" and "isscript.msi".
Run the following command to create the acp.
msiexec /a "D:\DISK1\Quicken 2005.msi" shortfilenames=true targetdir=c:\q2005 /qb
This will create the admin control point in c:\q2005 directory (you can move or rename it after you create it). This admin control point is your new install point (where you will install in the future). It can be move you a server or another pc.
Copy the "isscript.msi" file to the c:\q2005 directory.
To perform the install off of the admin control point run the following command (batch file).
@echo off
msiexec /i "isscript.msi" /qb
msiexec /i "Quicken 2005.msi" issetupdriven=1 allusers=1 installlevel=1 reboot=reallysuppress /qb
copy /Y PROGRA~1\Quicken\quicken.ico "C:\Program Files\Quicken\*.*"
echo done installing Quicken 2005
pause

final quiet msi command strings for quicken 2005
msiexec /i "isscript.msi" /qb
msiexec /i "Quicken 2005.msi" issetupdriven=1 allusers=1 installlevel=1 reboot=reallysuppress /qb
This will have quicken 2005 in the add remove programs and also all the links appear. The only issue is that the icon for quicken 2005 is not correct to fix the icon you have to copy quicken.ico out of the acp to C:\Program Files\Quicken directory.

first you have to install the installshield script engine
msiexec /i isscript.msi /qb
Then you have to envoke the installshield msi (issetupdriven=1 fakes it out by telling that the installshield setup.exe is running it).
msiexec /i Quicken 2005.msi issetupdriven=1 /qb
I am still working on the rest. It still does not fully install. I think a couple custom actions must go.

3. get the Adobe Reader 7.0.msi and data1.cab file out of C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Setup Files\RdrBig\ENU____\ directory
msiexec /i "Adobe Reader 7.0.msi" EULA_ACCEPT=YES /qb-
