If I were you, I would create an AutoIt script that would look for words like "next", "yes", "terms", and so on and click them (That should install most installers). You can launch programs silently (hidden) with AutoIt by using the command, "Run ( 'program' , 'workingdir', @SW_HIDE). | |

It works on linux because package installation is generally always the same. On Windows, it varies a lot by application. I imagine such a solution would work well with simple self-extracting installers, but not as good with custom installers that come with bundled Adware/Crapware or those that require elevated permissions | |

Improving question a bit.
