Making installing Access 2002 runtime apps under Vista easier!

I have an app that is built in Access 2002 and packaged with its runtime. When installing it in a Vista PC/laptop, several dialog boxes pop up that require specific answers for the app to install and work OK under Vista. Is there any way to make this installation more straightforward by pre-empting these dialog boxes and/or answering them automatically so that the User does not have to do it himself and probably get it wrong?

Here is what I have to deal with when the installation is done by the User at present:
"
Computer displays.
User

response

"Copying files, please standby"
no action

"Welcome to the ... Installation Program"
"OK"

"Begin the Installation..."
click computer picture button

"Installing Access Runtime..."
no action

"Choose Program Group"
"Continue"

"... setup" progress thermometer
no action

"Version Conflict" compatui.dll "...keep this file?"
"yes"

"Version conflict" scrrun.dll "...keep this file?"
"yes"

"An error occurred while registering ... compatui.dll"
"Ignore"

"The procedure entry point _loadVersionedResourceEx@16 ... MSDART.DLL"
"OK"

"An error occurred while registering ... msjro.dll"
"Ignore"

"... Setup was completed successfully!"
"OK"


"
Could be get rid of some of these. I believe there is a scripting language available in Windows now whose name escapes me. Could this be an answer?

Many thanks
