Hi,
my workplace is considering a large SecondLife deployment. I have been trying to find information related to silent/unattended installation of the software to no avail. Has anyone done that or know where I could find some information related to that?
Thank you,
Lorenzo

SL uses the NSIS installation system. Check this page for command line arguments that the installer executable will accept:

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Which_command_line_parameters_can_be_used_to_configure_installers

The /S option will help you here. It'll assume default answers for all questions, and I think it'll avoid popping up a window. The only problem: it'll assume "Yes" to the question, "Do you want to run SL now?". Maybe your autoinstall script can kill the SL process after the installation is finished? If not, maybe try submitting a bug report requesting the default functionality in silent mode not to run SL after installing.
