MathType isn't a real fun installer. Check out their Administrators Manual to get more info about the switches available.

I basically followed the instructions on that website for making a Workstation Install. Run a normal install on your computer, and make a self-extracting archive with WinRAR of the files it copies to the program files folder. Then copy the contents of the installer that you just ran to your install media, along with the archive you made.

Then I made a simple batch file for installing the program that extracts the archive to C:\Program Files\MathType, then runs the installer:
setup.exe -C -W -DL "%ProgramFiles%\MathType"
Then it calls WAIT.exe (attached) with a 10 second timer to give the setup time to complete, and taskkills setup.exe. (If you don't kill the task it'll just sit at the screen asking you if you want to run the program/read the readme).

I hope that makes sense :/
Good luck!
