Generic Client Installer

I'd like the ability to download and install a generic client installer, that asks me for information during the install, such as name, organization and location etc.. Often when I'm doing a multiple computer deployment, I have to download a bunch of the same installer file with the different information and then make sure I install the right exe on the right computer. If i had a generic one, i could run it, punch in the info on the spot and only need a single installer. Would be super helpful. I doubt this would be very difficult, I'm guessing somewhere in the exe is a configuration file that has this information programmed when its downloaded from the site.

Is it possible to open up the installer, or see where it extracts in temp files and see if there's a config file in there that could be customized? Going to try that now actually. 

But yeah for the above, if you could add flags to the install like "screenconnectclient.exe /company:companyname /name:nameofpc etc... or have it in a simple txt or xml file.

Make this information scriptable would be helpful too. For example the ability to add Organization to a generic installer via a script/command would be significantly useful. Especially with the need to code sign custom branded installers. This is not a process that is helpful to repeat over and over.
