Sorry I forgot to configure my Thunderbird.
That will depend on what your installer is, and whether it has an option
for silent installation.

Your question is unclear. What is the connection between Python and the
installer?

"I am installing Python on Windows."

"Python is already installed, and I'm installing extra Python packages,
using many different installers."

"I'm installing applications using an installer written in Python."

"I'm writing my own installer, using Python."

or something else?


If you want a better answer, you will need to explain what you are doing
in more detail.
I've packages built by bdist_wininst, Is there any way for install them 
silently?
Or is there any way for convert them to another format (ex. msi) in that 
way I can install them silently.

PS
I tried to unzip that packages (I thought I may re-package un-zipped 
packages by NSIS or something else) and I discovered that the structure 
of directories of bdist_wininst packages so different! for example:

---xlwt-0.7.2.win32.exe---
PURELIB
    |
    |-- xlwt-0.7.2-py2.5.egg-info
    |-+ xlwt
            |-+ doc
            |-+ examples
            |-- __init__.py
            |-- antlr.py
            .
            .

---bzr-2.3.4-1.win32-py2.6.exe---
DATA
    |-- Doc


PLATLIB

    |-- bzr-2.3.4-py2.6.egg-info

            |-+ bundle
            |-+ doc
            |-- __init__.py
            |-- _annotator_py.py
            .
            .
