Any suggesstions for installing Point on a large scale, without the user having to click OK and Finish, when executing run.exe?

We don't encrypt the cab files so you could take it upon yourself to write a new install.  Short of that silent mode is used for run.exe and therefore is not available to run scripted installs. 

So currently the best thing is setup.exe with config.ini ( this is what run.exe is).  Yes you have the two windows, which is frustrating I know however when it was truly silent, if you ever had an error you never knew(progress bar would not move.), so this is better.

Over time the goal is an msi install you can work with, aswell as make Point more of an xcopy deploy(no com/activex) so we will have a lot more options.

 OK, how do I run 100 installs at 12 locations in 5 states without the user having admin rights?  I can not use a single Netsetup folder as the WAN links would saturate with all of the user trying to install at once.

It would depend on how you have the computers networked, are they on a domain?
