Hi,
I am looking to bundle gears with another program for users to use
my site. I wanted to create an installer that installs everything at
once (using nsis - http://nsis.sourceforge.net) and in the
background. Is there a way that I can run GoogleGearsSetup with an
option to run silently in the background (maybe even an option to
force the browser to restart - or specifically not to)?
The other program I am installing has a "/s" command line option for
it's silent mode. Right now my installer works fine, but I feel it
might be confusing to the user to have the gears install popup the
foreground of the installer, and then prompt to restart the browser.
Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.

I found out that I was using the old installer found at
gears.google.com
I downloaded the latest version of gears, which came packaged in an
msi from (http://code.google.com/p/google-gears/downloads/list). this
allowed me to package gears in my installer to run silently in the
background using the command "gears-win32-opt-0.2.2.0.msi /quiet"
So I answered my own question.

Hi Mike,
We currently don't package Gears for redistribution and it's not licensed as such. Please direct your customers to http://gears.google.com, where they can download the full version of Google Gears. For more information, please see the Terms of Service, which you can find here: http://gears.google.com/tos.html
We also don't currently distribute the MSI installer, because the standard EXE installer that you get from gears.google.com will also keep the Gears installation up-to-date, which helps us ensure a consistent experience across all of your users.
We are looking into adding a silent mode for the installer in the future and we'll post to this forum when we do so.
Sincerely,
Chris.
