EAGLE Silent Install

Is there any way to make a silent install of EAGLE? I work in a University, and we would like to have EAGLE installed for our students. So far I can run "eagle-win-6.2.0.exe /auto" to get it to extract automatically, or I can extract it then run "eagle.exe --setup" to make it do the normal setup, but I can't get it to do a silent install.

In principle, EAGLE does not NEED any installation:
1. Install it ONCE on ONE machine, so that it works there.
2. Afterwards, for each OTHER computer, just copy all the
     files to this other computer (to any desired folder), and
     it just works.
3. There are two drawbacks with this approach:
      a) On first start on the new machine, EAGLE needs the
         license code. But that's OK, because then the admin
         has full control over the installations, and illegal
         copies will not work.
      b) There will be no entry in the Windows start menu,
         and double-clicking on any EAGLE file will NOT start
         EAGLE. This must be done manually.

Anyway, we do this copying procedure since about 8 years, and it works
quite well for all operating systems.
