I am trying to create a silent install for the free version of Visual
Basic Express. Currently I am working on creating an msi, but it keeps
failing to install the program on my virtual
machine. I would like to know if there are any command line parameters
I could pass through to make it install sillently or any way to create
an unattended install. I ask to do this because I have to deploy this
to our offices in overseas. Thanks.

Why?
VB Express is a Microsoft product and, as such, I would fully expect
each and every user installing it to have to read and agree to the EULA
that (I assume) it displays during the installation process.

Are you actually trying to "sneak" VB Express itself onto people's
machines, or are you trying to deploy an Application built /with/ it?
In the latter case, you only need the Framework, not the entire package.

I am trying to install VB Express on about 100 machines in my office
and in a couple offices overseas. I just want to know how to make it a
silent/unattended install. I will be deploying it through AD. I am NOT
trying to deploy an application made with VB.

I will need to deploy this very soon. If there is someone out there
that has done this or that knows how to do this, help would be greatly
appreciated.

I have looked on the msdn forums and have found nothing. I need some
help.
