I would think that at least for this kind of question, you may want to=20
specify which version of Apache httpd you are talking about, and on=20
which platform. No ?

I really don't know if the MSI version of the Apache installer offers
such a scripting option by itself.
But there exist multiple Windows packages which offer this kind of thing.

http://lmgtfy.com?q=windows+installer+package

Usually, you call up such a program, and give it the name of the MSI
file you want to install. It then "captures" the answers you are giving,
and creates an automatic script out of it.
(They are usually more sophisticated that that, too).
For Windows, that may be your easiest solution.

This being said, installing Apache under Windows does not really require
that much user input. You may get away with just providing a small
README file.

That is a great page. Thanks.
But it does not seem to be the same one as one gets when following from
the httpd 2.2 docs main page, namely
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/windows.html
When do these get reconciled ?

Someone needs to backport. Usually it's the original author, but no doubt
I just held off since I have more changes to make to that document. But
it doesn't stop someone else from backporting it.

Can anyone comment who's used the revised guide to try some advanced
installation tricks?
