Hi Daniel,

Yes, TuxMath (and Tux Typing) uses NSIS.  Looking briefly through the NSIS docs, it looks like NSIS itself has support for silent install, but our use of NSIS doesn't support it because our simple NSIS setup doesn't provide defaults for the user selections.

So for now, I'm afraid tuxmath isn't set up for scripted install, but it is definitely something we can put in our next release (which btw is getting long overdue).

Best,

David Bruce
