Well, I read through both stickied threads in this forum and I found the general consensus to install this from cmd line is as follows:

Daemon Tools
Install Switch: /qn /Reboot=Suppress
Extraction: After running the installer, get the .msi installer from
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\DAEMON Tools 3.46\
Or on whatever drive your installation may reside.

Well, when I run

daemon.msi /qn /Reboot=Suppress

I get a Windows Installer pop-up message telling me that I'm using incorrect parameters. I tried

daemon.msi /qn

and this works, but unfortunately reboots which is bad for my GuiRunOnce routine.

So it seems the /Reboot switch isn't supported by windows installer version 3.0 as you can tell from here.

The best information I could find on installing Daemon Tools 3.47 was found at the AppDeploy.com site.

Is there a way I can look at the msi file? Some sort of tool, maybe? That last site suggests there is a way to deal with rebooting in the msi file itself, thus eliminating the need for a command line switch.

You guys rock. Much appreciated. I'm getting to understand more and more of this as I go on.

One minor edit to your above command: There should be 2 'P' characters in suppress:

/qn reboot=suppress

Everytime I feel like I'm about to wrap up this CD, I venture on to more stuff! Addictive! :w00t:
