The only thing I would add to this is to put this in a batch file where you can also: 1. Net stop the existing TSM services (if this is an upgrade install) before installing the new client 2. Net start the existing TSM services after the install/upgrade is finished. 3. Run the dsmc query sched command (if this is a brand new install) to prompt/save the TSM node password. 4. Create and start the services (if this is a brand new install) using the dsmcutil command.

This is the one for version 5.3 where I suppress the reboot but if you upgrading from an older version of the client say 5.1 and it's on a Windows 2000 server you need to run the windows installer upgrade (run instmsiw.exe)first which will need a reboot.
