Silently installing BESR 2010 agent via Group Policy?

We are looking for a way to do this - either via running the setup.exe somehow or with pushing an MSI.
But - we need to just install the agent, and silently without reboot.  How can this be done with the MSI?

Thanks much,

I'm working on a vbs startup

I'm working on a vbs startup script - I'll post more when it's tested.

It looks like this is what it uses when pushing the agent from the console:

setup.exe /S /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=Agent,Shared,BESRSecurityShortCut /l*v %TEMP%\BESRinstall.log"

I added REBOOT=R and it seems to work ok
