Unfortunately there is no automated install. However, you can avoid the tedious process of manual package selection by pre-initializing an /etc/setup/installed.db with the following contents: INSTALLED.DB 2 packagename packagename-0-0.tar.bz2 0 anotherpackagename anotherpackagename-0-0.tar.bz2 0 yetanotherpackagename yetanotherpackagename-0-0.tar.bz2 0 setup.exe will then see these packages as installed at version 0-0, and 'upgrade' them to the current versions without you having to select each package manually.
