In the FAQ section (http://wpkg.org/index.php/FAQ) the first question is "How can I script installation of packages if they can't be installed quietly, without user intervention?" the answer given is "There are some ways to do it. You can find a good description and a handful of examples on this page." But the examples don't have an example of this... or at least it's not obvious.

I saw the silent installer for Quicktime, but the installer still requires user interaction.

Is it possible to install software using WPKG when the installer requires user interaction? The WPKG wiki claims to have examples of this in the 'examples' section, which I cannot find...

It really says so? :)
Could you point me where exactly, it's not true, if it's in the wiki, it needs to be fixed.


For example, I want to use WPKG to install iTunes and Quicktime. However, the iTunes installer prompts you "To get started, click Next," accept the license, etc... Can this be done with WPKG? Maybe in tandem with AutoIT? I'd rather keep it as simple as possible though.

Maybe with AutoIT, but in reality I doubt it.

Mostly programs have some "hidden" silent, command line options.
Sometimes it's just hard to know which one, as there is no standard here.

For Quicktime, you can find a silent installer in the wiki:

For iTunes, you'll have to search the web I guess.
