Silent Installer for Internet Explorer 8
Download IEAK8 here [1] and install the Toolkit.
Create your custom IE8 installer bundle with the "Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 8". Note: user based settings like search providers will not work if you run WPKG under a service account.
Create the package KB932823 if you are using Windows XP and haven't got Service Pack 3 installed.
