Summary:
I want to install CitectSCADA 7.10 silently, however using the command line for 7.00 results in the driver installer requiring user interaction to complete. 

Solution: 
To do this, you need to add something to the command line in KB Q4882:

"DRIVERS=[all|default|<drivername1>[,<drivername2>...]]"

So, to install CitectSCADA 7.10 and all drivers silently use:

D:\V7.10r1\Citect>setup /v"/qr REBOOT=ReallySuppress INSTALLDIR=\"C:\\Citect\\7.10\\\" CITECT_COMMON_APP_V601=\"C:\\Citect\\7.10\\\" ENGLISH_COMPONENTS=\"\" FIREWALL_CHOICE=\"NotModify\" DRIVERS=\"all\""

To install CitectSCADA 7.10 and the default set of drivers silently use:

D:\V7.10r1\Citect>setup /v"/qr REBOOT=ReallySuppress INSTALLDIR=\"C:\\Citect\\7.10\\\" CITECT_COMMON_APP_V601=\"C:\\Citect\\7.10\\\" ENGLISH_COMPONENTS=\"\" FIREWALL_CHOICE=\"NotModify\" DRIVERS=\"default\""

To install CitectSCADA 7.10 and just OPC and MODBUS drivers silently use:

D:\V7.10r1\Citect>setup /v"/qr REBOOT=ReallySuppress INSTALLDIR=\"C:\\Citect\\7.10\\\" CITECT_COMMON_APP_V601=\"C:\\Citect\\7.10\\\" ENGLISH_COMPONENTS=\"\" FIREWALL_CHOICE=\"NotModify\" DRIVERS=\"opc,modbus\""

The only problem remaining is that if you have 7.00 or any other previous version installed, you will get a dialog stating "An existing installation of this product has been found. it is recommended to uninstall the existing version before continuing. Do you wish to continue? [Yes|No]" and there is noway of suppressing this dialog. So there is no way to do a silent install in this circumstance. The work-around is to uninstall all other versions before attempting a silent install of 7.10. Citect will post more information about this as it becomes available.
