The easiest way I've found to create a customized and SILENT installation of Crystal Reports 2008 without having to memorize and specify all the different parameters is to create a response file (.INI) and specify that response file to the SETUP.EXE.

To create a response file, run the following from a command line:

SETUP.EXE -w "file-path"

where file-path is the complete path and name of the INI file you want to create.

This will start the installation and display the dialog screens to you. Enter all the selections (including the PID) for the type of installation you want. When you get to the point where the installation is starting to copy files to the hard disk, CANCEL the installation. You've now created the response file without actually installing the software.

To install Crystal Reports 2008 in a silent mode, type the following from a command line/prompt:

SETUP.EXE -r "file-path"

where file-path specifies the response file you created. This response file may be used on all subsequent installations. You may also create several different response files to accomodate the needs of your environment/users.

If you want a truly SILENT installation, you will need to make a minor change to the response file you've created. In the response file will be a section called [OTHER]. In that section, change the QUIET=/qa parameter to QUIET=/qn.

Notes: Shared "notes from the field" covering how to handle the automated installation of this software.

When I tried to install other languages (<>English) I received the error code: e06d7363.

To resolve:
Set property ' INSTALL.LP.DE.SELECTED="1" '

DE = German, FR = French and so forth...

The registration wizard that fires up on startup is activated based on the registry key:
HKCU\Software\Business\Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Counter (DWORD value)
If the Counter value is absent it gets created & set to 1. On the next startup no registration wizard appears.
NB The gotcha is that the presence of the Crystal Reports key above this, or rather the absence of this key is what triggers the initial copy of files into the user's profile (APPDATA), so if you add the counter key to your package, you will presumably also need to ensure these files get created.
