Hi folks,

Hmm, What does Tux Paint use now?

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).
One of these days, I'll squeeze a couple of hours in to get the ball rolling. =P

Is this for a school deployment, or something else?
