Copy the contents of the cd to a local or network drive. I have used C:\Adobe. I also changed the names of subfolders to avoid quotes in the command line (C:\Adobe\Writer).

There is something wrong with the serialnumber. To get the installation to work silently you have to edit the msi-file. Use InstallShield Developer or Microsoft Orca to modify the ISX_SERIALNUMBER in the Property table. You also have to modify abcpy.ini in C:\Adobe\Writer. Fill in the SERIALNUMBER, USERNAME and COMPANYNAME.

Now you can run the msi silently:
C:\Adobe\Writer\Acrostan.msi transforms=c:\adobe\writer\1043.mst;c:\adobe\writer\acrostan.mst /qb

Note: you can't use InstallShield Tuner 6.0.1 because with this program it is not possible to edit a msi-file.
