Tell me how to automate the installation of around 700 programs

I got ahold of a file with around 700 or more casual type games in it. You know like Super Collapse, Bejeweled, etc. Anyway the bad part is that all of them use an installer which is gong to take a LONG time to install one by one. Is there any way I can automate the whole thing? I mean, installing them isn't THAT bad it's just a matter of opening them and clicking next 4 or 5 times but when you have to do that for over 700 games that's a lot of clicking.

I'm not that savvy when it comes to writing batch files or anything like that but I assume either some kind of batch file or some type of standalone program will get the job done easier.

Any solutions or suggestions appreciated.
 
Why would soemone create a file of 700+ unique applications that require an unique installation interaction for each one?
 
I downloaded one of those packs, it had a crap lot of shareware games, none were cracked. Was too lazy to download a bunch of different games from a bunch of different sites so I nabbed it. Of course this same laziness led to me never installing more that 5 of them 😀

Only way I know of would be to create a custom installer, which would ultimately take more time to create than installing each on it's own.
