Silent install fails?

Question

Hi Folks,
  Restarting an Adobe AIR Application is not working during Silent installation.
  If I install testapp.air(which has following code) on a machine that already has Adobe AIR installed on it and I click on
   the 'Restart' button in the testapp it works fine. (The app is closed and restarted and the window reopens)
  import mx.core.Application;
  import mx.core.WindowedApplication;
  import adobe.utils.ProductManager;
  public function reStart():void
    var app:WindowedApplication =
        WindowedApplication(Application.application);
    var mgr:ProductManager =
        new ProductManager("airappinstaller");
    mgr.launch("-launch " +
        app.nativeApplication.applicationID + " " +
        app.nativeApplication.publisherID);
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit(0);
  Now, we have a need to bundle Adobe AIR with our app and install Adobe AIR in 'silent' mode. I followed the directions in the Adobe
  AIR bundling agreement and used the following command to install it:
  testappInstaller.exe -silent -eulaAccepted -location "C:/Program Files/" -desktopShortcut testapp.air
  If I do this, when I click on the 'Restart' button it does NOT restart the application. The issue seems to be related to installing
  Adobe AIR in silent mode.
  I would greatly appreciate any assistance Adobe is able to provide for this issue.

Update- BEA recognizes this as an issue in SP2. Maybe fixed in SP3? They sent me
a copy of installoptions.bea. This file must be placed into C:\bea prior to running
install - hard coded path.
I attached installoptions.bea

I edited
the sample silent.xml file for a single server deployment. Part of my
silent.xml
file is:
<input-fields>
<data-value name="BEAHOME" value="C:\bezplus\bea7"
/>
<data-value name="USER_INSTALL_DIR" value="C:\bezplus\bea7\weblogic700"
/>
<data-value name="RUN_DOMAIN_WIZARD" value="true" />
The install fails and log file contains the message:

I find no reference to installoptions.bea file in the documentation.
Help Please.
