I know there have been lots of discussions on unattended setups, and i'm taking 
my crack at getting one set up, but ran into a frustrating situation using 
quiet mode:
When running setup.exe with -q if there are in-use files encountered, setup 
will still pop up the dialog telling you so and sit there and wait forever 
until you click the OK button. This clearly is not "unattended". It would be 
better if it could just exit with a specific error code that you could read and 
take some action (restart).
I'm sure I could just choose the --no-replaceonreboot (-r) option to bypass the 
dialog box, but that would probably lead to an unstable install.
