Silent Install

Can Java be used to do a silent install of softare?All I am trying to do is kick off an executable and do it without user intervention.Anyone with experience doing this?Thanks.

Does the installer have a silent option?

I am totally new to this.So far I have found some software by nullsoft that does silent installations, but it is in PHP and I woujld prefer not have to learn another scripting language.Is there no way to do this with java?

Are talking about a silent install while the user is browsing your website? That sounds like unwanted software to me!! and users do not really like to have that!!

If you are talking about a normal application installation, the user will still have to clieck some executable file to start the installation.

Also beware that in some countries, installing unwanted software on the pc of others without prior acknolegments could lead to legal actions, so I sugest informing the user of what is happening.
