Skip EULA when deploying word viewer

I am trying to deploy Office viewers to several computers, but can't find a way to skip or accept the EULA.  The install has to have no user interaction due to there being well over 200 clients.  I've extracted the .MSI from each viewer so I can use GPO to deploy. So far I have tried:

msiexec /i c:\wordview.msi /qn /ACCEPTEULA=1 ASSOCIATE=1

and

wordview.msi /qn /m /quiet

and

wordview.msi /qn

The EULA pops up and waits for interaction on every method so far.  There has to be a way to do this! Please help.

Did a little more research and found that all i needed to do was install using a batch file rather than using the MSI in the GPO.

I created a GPO and placed the script in the Computer Startup Script section.  The batch file had the following: 

Start /wait \\Fshare\MSViewers\wordview_en-us.exe /quiet

Worked like a charm! I hope this helps someone else having the same issue.  Supprisingly there is very little using google on this.

How is the file configured in the Computer Startup Script section to only run once?  That is, so that each time a user logs on the script is not run please?

Thanks!
