How do I run NI-VISA installer (visa201.exe) in silent mode?

I am trying to include the NI-VISA installer as part of a custom installation package.
I need to be able to run the setup.exe without any prompts. Also, I DO NOT want the Readme.txt file and Restart of computer to happen at the end of this silent installation.

What should the command line look like?

Hello-

The /q switch enables the silent install in the newer versions of VISA. VISA 2.01 is quite dated, it'd be a good idea to upgrade to 2.6. Call the local sales representive for information about upgrades.

I tried this /q switch with visa260runtime.exe but did not observe any difference compared to the absence of this switch. I want to perform a silent installation of NI-VISA runtime only for serial communication. Are ther any command line switches?
