I have been attempting to install iTunes 4.7.1 silently.

I always get the first screen of the setup, that has you push Next to start the install, then nothing happens.

I've checked the switches for the exe and I get this:

Command Line Parameters:
/L language ID
/S Hide intializaation dialog. For silent mode use: /S /v /qn
/V parameters to MsiExec.exe
/UA<url to InstMsiA.exe>
/UW<url to InstMsiW.exe>
/UM<url to msi package>

I tried the first 4 different switches, with no luck.

I found the MSI from the installation files, but I can't seem to get that running either:
