Alex Ong (twitter: ong_a) and I (twitter: nigelfds) managed to hack around around the GO server install for windows and get a hands off scripted install working.
Using powershell as administrator:
PS c:\downloads> .\go-server-12.2.2-15235-setup.exe /S /D="C:\Program Files (x86)\Go Server"
(the /S is silent install, the -D is the path to install to.)
That installs the server but not the service (It should though). To install it as a service:
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Go Server> cruisewrapper.exe -it .\config\wrapper-server.conf
(command line help for the cruisewrapper is pretty good.)
At this point you have a service that will not start. Turns out the service depends on a system environment variable.
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Go Server> [Environment]: etEnvironmentVariable("CRUISE_SERVER_DIR", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Go Server", "Machine")
That should allow everything to work.

We also found that installations through this route do not setup firewall rules.
To install firewall rules via powershell, for GO see Tom Hollanders firewall rule function (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tomholl/archive/2010/11/08/adding-a-windows-firewall-rule-using-powershell.aspx)
to add 8153 and 8154 for service "Go Server"
Hi John HTran,
This forum is not monitored often, any more, and is closed for new topics. You should probably use the go-cd google groups mailing list or the gocd project on GitHub. The website of Go is now: http://go.cd.
Regarding this, there was never a silent install of Go documented, I believe. Someone found out how to do it, and posted it here. I'd look at the install.log file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Go Server and see what is (not) happening when you run it in silent mode. But, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work, since it isn't a documented, supported feature.
Cheers,
Aravind
I've tried the above suggestions using Thoughtworks Go Server version 14.3.0-1186 , however i cannot get 'Go Server' service to start. If I uninstall it and use the interactive installer, it works fine. I ensured the CRUISE_SERVER_DIR env var exists as well.
I meant silent install of Go Server. The agent has a silent install.
