I just wrote a script to automatically update my servers.ini file whenever a new one is released. Then I got to thinking.. how about mIRC itself when a new version comes out? So I searched google.. the first result took me to a post on these boards:

I understand that mIRC (and a silent install) can be dangerous.. but wouldn't any malicious user with half a brain simply use mirc.exe, not an installer? The installer adds itself to the Add/Remove Programs list and surely adds some registry entries, whereas the regular mirc.exe can be used as-is and be just as malicious without being as obvious.

So is there a silent install option? Or a way to extract the files from installers of new versions of mIRC?
