Is there a way to install a vsix file in quite/silent mode?

Question

As part of automated testing I'd like to run a command which will install vsix extensions in a way that doesn't require user interaction. Something like the msiexec silent mode. Is there a way to install silently from the cmdline?

Try:   VSIXInstaller.exe /q <pathToVSIXFile>

I believe vsixinstaller.exe has a /quiet mode, though that is from memory as the laptop I am on right now doesn't have VS installed (for shame!)

Hmmm, no un-propose as answer button :(  MSDN has been wacky today, when I responded it wasn't showing Aaron's response, even though it now says he made it 3 hours ago :(
