Is there any way to install hudlite remotely, on several computers at once?

If not, would the developers add the capability of installing it from the commandline? That way we could use scripts to automate the installation.

It looks like the developers will have to add new switches for users to change the options on the commandline.

Default switches:

Example on how to add a new switch:

However, removing startup items and such could be scripting after the fact.
