Hello,
I would like to mention a potential bug with using the silent install feature of mySQL with the mysql-4.0.20d-win.zip for windows. I have WindowsXP Professional for an OS. I was setting up mySQL to generate a setup.iss file. I found that the setup.iss file that was generated did not have the correct content when I tried to use it resulting in an error code of -3 in the setup.log file. I was able to modify the setup.iss file through inspection and trial & error to get it working which I think will help you to determine where the problem is. The first version below is the raw setup.iss file generated by running > setup /r. The second version is the modified version that works. I had to modify the szDir before the [Application] entry so that setup.exe could find the application on a silent install which is the current working directory in my case. The empty szDir= is bad. I also question why that field is even there. It gets put there as blank no matter what type of install I choose (typical, custom, compact).

Note that the szDir field prior to the [Application] entry was modified to be ".\". Note that it is blank up above. Note knowing your code internals I can't go any further to explain why your setup.exe cannot find the setup.exe (which is in the current working directory) on a silent install.
