CutePDF Unattended install?

Well, according to the author, to do a unnatended install you have to purchase his "Custom Edition" for designing a branded distribution or some such craziness for like $300. (like that's going to happen for those of us who just like to play)

It would be nice however if anyone has figured out a repackaged version with both Ghost Script 8 and Cute PDF.

I use this for the Ghostscript 8.54 msi installer from RunOnceEx:

REG ADD %KEY%\077 /VE /D "Ghostscript" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\077 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\pdfwriter\GPLGhostscript854.msi /quiet /norestart" /f

You can use the /verysilent switch for CutePDF but it wants to connect to the internet after install so I just made a simple cmd file to install it then kill iexplore.exe:

cwnd /hide @
@echo off
FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\win51ip.sp3 SET CDROM=%%i:
start /wait %CDROM%\install\pdfwriter\cutewriter.exe /verysilent
taskkill /f /im iexplore.exe
exit

Run the cmd from RunOnceEx:

REG ADD %KEY%\078 /VE /D "Cute PFD Writer" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\078 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\pdfwriter\cutewriter.cmd" /f

A bit tedious but it works.
