Silent install on Mac version of SPSS 19

[Gallagher Jr, Patrick]

Hello, 

I just subscribed to this list, I'm not sure if this list is intended for IT deployment issues, or just usage. But here goes. 

I just got my hands on version 19 and am hoping this version can finally be silently deployed to Macs (18 could not). The "Site License Administrators Guide" says the command line installer can be found on the disc at /MacOS/Administration/SPSS Statistics_Installer_Silent.bin. I do have an Administration folder which has the also needed installer.properties  but no "SPSS Statistics_Installer_Silent.bin". 

Was the silent installer just excluded for some reason? Is there another way to run a silent install?

Thanks.

Just a quick follow up on this for others that may have this problem. I just got a reply from support that they left the silent installer off the disc because of space. They just posted it for download at:
