Use j2sdk installer to silently install public JRE

Question

With the interactive installer there is an option to install a public JRE using the 1.4.2 j2sdk installer.
Does anyone know the magic incantation to have the j2sdk installer install the public JRE silently?
Actually, a comprehensive list of all of the magic parameters to the MSI installer would be great. I've been trying to beat the information out of google for a while now but it isn't helping. Thanks a lot.

Here's what I did with it.
@echo off
echo %cd%
set Initial_Dir=%cd%
echo Below is the original directory
echo %Initial_Dir%
cd Java
echo %cd%
if exist "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\java.exe" goto InstallJRE
echo          -------------------------
echo          Installing Java SDK 1.6.0_12
echo           Please wait....
echo          -------------------------
cd JDK-1.6.0_12
msiexec.exe /i "jdk1.6.0_12.msi" /qn /l*v "d:\jdk6-inst.log" ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 EULA=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress
echo Install completed
setx JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12" /M
echo           current JAVA_HOME setting
echo           %JAVA_HOME%
echo           Java Home variable verification
echo           "%JAVA_HOME%"\bin\java.exe -version
"%JAVA_HOME%"\bin\java.exe -version
set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12"
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe -version
:InstallJRE
if exist "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" goto InstallFCM
