Doh! I didn't see the qb in the Sun silent install page.  I am glad that
what I reasoned was happening was correct -- just wish I had re-read the
installers page first.  <grin>

Maybe this is the deal with the space (from the Sun silent install page):

In the various command line examples below a space appears between the /v
and the quote ("); i.e., /v ". The space is required for 1.4.2_01 and higher
releases that are installed by the "Windows Installation" method (aka
"install from the web"). For "Windows Offline Installation" no space should
appear.

And yet, when I read about the install formats is sure looks like we use the
Windows Offline method.

?? 

All that information and no real answer.  I love computers.

Yeah, I like progress bars too, which is why I opted for /qb instead of /qn
like Sun documents.

The package is just an "InstallShield Basic MSI" installer:

I am a little surprised that the space is required, since I am almost
certain I used to install the JRE without it...  I wonder what is going on
here, exactly.

But whatever works :-).
