The Windows installer that is built with the NSIS installer maker does support a silent install option.

If I download cmake-2.8.3-win32-x86.exe from http://cmake.org/files/v2.8/?C=M;O=D [^] and then run it like this on Windows:

C:\>cmake-2.8.3-win32-x86.exe /S /D=C:\dir\with\backslashes and possibly spaces

Then it is installed in the expected directory. Everything after the /D= is part of the directory name. This is a general feature of Windows installers built with the NSIS packager, and we have code in the NSIS script used to build the installer to make sure that the command line /D option is honored.
