title: Does Web Platform Installer support automation?
body: <p>I wonder if I can automate WPI actions to setup a dev box in unattended mode, either with command line options or a configuration file. It looks like WPI takes a "URL" as a command line parameter but I have no idea what format the response should be in, and what it allows in general.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Thanks folks for the huge effort to come up with ways to automate setups. As @fra mentioned now there is a <a href="http://blogs.iis.net/satishl/archive/2011/01/26/webpi-command-line.aspx" rel="noreferrer">command line tool for WPI</a>.</p>
