Wise switches.or..AdminStudio repackage???

What switch works better for silent installs, \q or \quiet? I've got an application that was packaged using Wise and saved as .exe. The application installs fine manually and requires a reboot after the install. I notice that if I deploy the package using SMS with or without any switches it arrives at the client system, count downs, and appears to start the install. Several minutes later I notice the installer still running and nothing gets installed. There are no errors reported other than "Program started for advertisement..." If I repackage the .exe file using AdminStudio and run the .msi file I get the following:

Windows is searching for UNWISE.EXE. Search for the file yourself...

and then this window pops up:

Problem with Shortcut
The item 'UNWISE.EXE' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.

During the build I see the following message:

A non-advertised shortcut must be created for UNWISE.EXE in folder [ProgramMenuFolder] app. Autorepair cannot be enabled for this shortcut.

From what I'm reading it appears that you can opt not to display the uninstall.exe in AdminStudio? If I exclude the shortcut with the unwise.exe file then I don't get the error but I encounter other problems after running the newly saved .msi. One of which is that the shortcut doesn't appear in the Programs list. I'm having trouble figuring this out and wonder if anyone's available to offer assistance in this area?
Any responses are appreciated.
