The downloaded installer cannot be installed silently, for a silent installer you need to unzip the .exe installer and then use setupgs.exe to install.
 
Note that the uninstall proces is not silent, the user is prompted to verify removing the software.
 
Fonts were included with Ghostscript 8.63 onwards rather than being a separate package.
