'setup.exe' doesn't support the GUI you're supposing.  So it's the command
line option or PTC. ;-)  I would think a batch file that one can point and
click on would satisfy the "point and clicky" crowd but I'm sure you
understand your users better than I.

'setup.exe --help' at a command line will give you the list of possible
options.
