Philip, 

While doing more research for my question, I discovered another option.
Since CMake creates it's installer with NSIS, I went to their
documentation (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.12)  and
found that there is a way to silence the installer by specifying /S
switch on the command line. You can also add /D "install destination" to
install at a specific place.

There is also an option to read an options file or command line
parameter. I wonder if the CMake installer could be configured to
support these. I would use it to tell CMake to add itself to the path,
which is disabled by default.

David.
