Here's what we did. We used the Wise installation monitoring software (if you're not familiar with Wise its a packaging software. Very nice, but too expensive to buy for this one thing.). The wise monitored while we did the generic install of the product.
We installed VNC on a test PC (granted it was 98 but it works in NT/2k/XP) - then we edited the install script to remove all user interaction - no questions for them to answer in the case where we had missed a PC and our help desk had to talk them through installing it. Then we removed the groups installation from the script as well. At that point we generated the executable - please note that at this point there is no service, no password, no security. Then we setup all the registry hacks that were needed to require the user to grant us access (required due to patient confidentiality concerns) and we inserted the password. Then we exported those registry keys, created a batch file that would automatically import the security keys and the password AND install it as a service. On the NT/2k/XP boxes we sometimes have to do a full reboot before it activates as a service. We also created another version of this batch file with different registry settings that do not require the user to accept the connection. I'm not sure if this helps or not, but this worked for us and I hope it can work for you.
