Hmm, I have no idea actually ; at our company, we
prefer the drag-and-drop installation method ; which
some of our Wintel users find quite disconcerting at
first, as they expect smoke and mirrors and registry
entries, etc.
But I made a quick trip to google, and saw the batch
file method suggested in articles as recent as July of
this year, so I guess it should be kind of safe ?

The following link also has a section at the bottom on
how to change your drive settings so you can autorun
zip disks and test that way before writing a CD.

Hope this helped,
