  Well, just because it's a monolithic installer wouldn't stop it from reading
setup.ini and downloading the latest versions of the base packages 'behind the

  Perhaps the easiest solution would be a customized version of setup.exe that
doesn't present the GUI and runs through the sequences of operations with
everything on default settings.
