Silent / Quiet Install of Lightroom CC Trial Version

I am a CC customer until May 2017 but since my Lightroom workflow is too slow I think about leaving Lightroom and Photoshop. But since all my previous work is archived in Lightroom I really don't want to change my workflow. And in the near future I will need a new workstation. So maybe I'll find a computer that's fast enough for my lightroom needs. And I have access to lots of  Windows workstations for testing purposes. All that led me to this plan:

I put together an USB thumbdrive with install files for Lightroom, about 100 test pictures and a script. The script reads out the computer information (CPU, GPU, RAM, drives and so on) and installs a trial Version of Lightroom. After that it put's these 100 test pictures through a Lightroom workflow with import, maybe some editing and export and measures the time lightroom takes. After that Lightroom gets uninstalled again.

This could lead to a list which hardware performs best with Lightroom and hopefully a reason for me to stay there.

Is there a way to do an automated / silent / quiet install and uninstall of a Trial version of Lightroom CC? I just found ways with serial number and enterprise editions so far ...

    Correct answer h4ppy

    After trying around with the enterprise methods it worked:

    Set-up.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile="X:\Path\To\Install\Files\deploy\AdobeLightroom6.install.xml" --acton=install

    It didn't work with my first tries, because the path to the deployment file has to be absolute. If you enter the wrong path you get error 8 I think. If you enter the right relative path it is error 16. And with the right absolute path it finally works

    And adding the patches was done with:

    AdobePatchinstaller --mode=silent

    I'm not sure whether I can still post to this thread after it's marked as solved, but if I can I will post a link to the finished project.
