A question about making silent installs.

Hello all, another question.
I have a relative, who does not know that much about the new computer we got her, and quite often needs my help with things. She always needs help installing programs, because we made the mistake of getting her two drives in her computer. If someone could direct me in the direction of a way to install programs automatically, without being detected? I can send her freeware, (ad-aware is what I want to do, mainly.) and how can I make it install after clicking on it? No boxes popping up or anything, just installing it? Thanks for your help in advance.

Every program would be different. Silent installs basically require someone to to answer questions/make selections in advance.

Couldn't you just get on the phone with her during the install and help her make the right selections?

Thanks for the help, I guess I'll just try to talk to her over the phone.
