Silent Install OpenOffice

The version 2 downloads from OpenOffice.org can be silently installed with the simple "/S" parameter.

E.g. OOo_2.3.1_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe /S

That's a capital S! Stupid, stupid, stupid. I had guessed with a small "s" 15 minutes ago.

Thanks to this link for clarifying it for me:

The default install does NOT overwrite previous Word (.doc) and Excel (.xls) associations, so it's generally safe to distribute.
The first run requires a basic accept license and user initials type thing.
It does not install the "speed" loader initially, but it does after the first run.
The JRE (if you go that route) does try to add the java update thing.
