Though I haven't experimented with this myself, I'd recommend looking at
using "setup*.exe" on the command line and listing the packages to install
there.
Thanks. But I P.S.'d about that option as undesirable -- as it requires to
maintain quite a long list of packages, all listed individually...
Why do you need to maintain a list? You have the download directory, right?
Just make a list from that as part of your install script.
There are other, more esoteric ways to get "setup*.exe" to install a list
of packages but, in the end, it still requires a list of packages to know
what you want to install. So I don't see an advantage in these other
alternatives.
