While I tested the individual commands, this silent installer has not yet been fully tested because I decided on a solution that did not require Virtual PC. I'm posting it to the wiki in case it will be of use to others. If you verify that it works, please remove this note.

Windows Virtual PC

Windows Virtual PC is a free add-on to Windows 7. See KB958559 for information and a download link. For Windows 8, it's been replaced with Hyper-V. 

<package
   id="virtualpc"
   name="Microsoft Virtual PC"
   revision="2-%VPC_VERSION"
   reboot="false"
   priority="0">

    <variable name="VPC_VERSION"    value="6.1.7601.17514" />
    <variable name="PKG_SOURCE"         value="%SOFTWARE%\virtualpc\Windows6.1-KB958559-x86-RefreshPkg.msu" architecture="x86"/>
    <variable name="PKG_SOURCE"         value="%SOFTWARE%\virtualpc\Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu" architecture="x64"/>

    <check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%WINDIR%\system32\vpc.exe" value="%VPC_VERSION%" />

    <!-- Warning: the KB977632 hotfix is needed if for some reason you're
         installing this on Windows 7 without SP1. You probably shouldn't be
         running non-SP1 Windows 7 anyway. -->

    <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="" />

    <install cmd="wusa &quot;%PKG_SOURCE%&quot; /quiet /norestart" >
      <exit code="0" />
      <exit code="3010" /> <!-- add reboot="postponed" to force a reboot; otherwise, Windows will ask the user -->
      <exit code="-2145124329" /> <!-- already installed -->
    </install>

    <upgrade include="install" />

    <remove cmd="wusa /uninstall /kb:958559 /quiet /norestart" >
      <exit code="any" />
