Just two bits from me. Seems that "silent" install mode don't work under Windows 7. After run I've always get error "You need to specify full path
with drive letter and slash. E.g. C:\OSGeo4W" (message translated from russian)
But in command line I already have this full path. I've tried to run "silent"
install from different folders, with different package folder and always have
this error.

But under WinXP all works for me.
