This is a silent installer for Real Alternative 1.90 from http://www.free-codecs.com - you would have to double check for a different version.

Upgrade from 1.43 to 1.44 to 1.51 seems to work if you increment the revision number.

Upgrade from 1.80 to 1.90 also worked by incrementing the revision number by adding a dot between the last version digit.

Real Alternative is the RealPlayer package with plugins and without the spyware.

It is wise to install browsers before this one, so that the plugin is installed into the brower's program files directory. You can achieve this using different priority levels, or using a 'depends-on' tag.
