Silent install of iTunes 10 for Windows

I am trying to deploy iTunes 10 to about 100 windows machines. Is there a command I can use to make the install silent. I have seen past references to /q /n and /quiet /passive but those do not seem to work. I have also seen references at appdeploy.com about extracting the msi and using MDT2010 but that is getting over my head. I am not picky about what gets installed, I'll take all the default settings to make life easier.

Please help

Roy,

I found this at Appdeploy: http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=1928

I found a way to install iTunes 10.1.2 through KACE.
Download iTunesSetup.exe
Extract MSI using 7zip or winRAR.
Within it contains 6 MSI:
AppleApplicationSupport.msi
AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
Bonjour.msi
iTunes.msi
QuickTime.msi

Extract them to a folder.
Create bat file that include below and name it as install.bat.

@echo off
AppleApplicationSupport.msi /qn
AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi /qn
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi /qn
Bonjour.msi /qn
iTunes.msi /qn
QuickTime.msi /qn

Zip all 6 MSI and the bat file and upload it to KACE under distribution and manually configure command line as iTunes.bat or install.bat whichever you named the bat file.

Not sure if you are using KACE or not but it works within Windows.
