Automated / hands free install of Parallels Tools, how?

I am in need of coming up with an automated / hands free way of getting the Parallels Tools installed for at least Windows 2000 and XP Pro. Scripted install would be acceptable.

I have the Parallels Video driver already correctly installing in our environment, from the files that were in the vmtools.iso file.

PrlMouse however did not win the driver election process, but I have not tried push installing that driver INF file yet. Pushing that driver might fix that one.

How many other drivers are needed / anyone have a list of exactly what the setup program of Parallels Tools actually does?

Thanks!

The Parallels Tools installer is built with InstallShield, which this page explains well how to automate such installers:

http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.php

However, something goes wrong when I tried doing a scripted install. The PrlTools.exe seems to give a bad return code, and no files have been installed, but the install directory is at least there. Log follows:

[InstallShield Silent]

Version=v7.00

File=Log File

[ResponseResult]

ResultCode=-3

[Application]

Name=Parallels Tools

Version=2.2

Company=Parallels

Lang=0009

So, are instructions available about how to do a successful silent install of Parallels Tools?
