Hints: If there is a new version, every occurrence of the version number has to be adjusted. You can add the following switches for an individual installation:

• /VERYSILENT instead of /SILENT to prevent users from aborting install (you can do the same for the uninstall program)
• /LANG=de for installation language (insert a valid language code for your language)
• /DIR=%PROGRAMFILES%\Maxima\ if you don't want Maxima to be installed into a folder containing the version number
• /GROUP=Math\Maxima to put the start menu group in a subfolder (and to rename it)
• /MERGETASKS=!desktopicon if you don't want the wxMaxima desktop icon to be installed
