The only thing I would add to this is to put this in a batch file where you
can also:
1.  Net stop the existing TSM services (if this is an upgrade install)
before installing the new client
2.  Net start the existing TSM services after the install/upgrade is
finished.
3.  Run the dsmc query sched command (if this is a brand new install) to
prompt/save the TSM node password.
4.  Create and start the services (if this is a brand new install) using
the dsmcutil command.

Patricia,
Here is one that works for me using a UNC to a network drive, right from
the book.
msiexec /i "\\servername\distribution\tsm\TSM53\IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
Client.msi" RebootYesNo="No" REBOOT="Suppress" ALLUSERS=1
INSTALLDIR="c:\program files\tivoli\tsm"
ADDLOCAL="BackupArchiveGUI,BackupArchiveWeb,ApiRuntime,AdministrativeCmd,OFS"
 TRANSFORMS=\\servername\distribution\tsm\TSM53\1033.mst /qn /l*v
"c:\log.txt"


Now just point yours to a location where you have an extracted copy of the
client. This is the one for version 5.3 where I suppress the reboot but if
you upgrading from an older version of the client say 5.1 and it's on a
Windows 2000 server you need to run the windows installer upgrade (run
instmsiw.exe)first which will need a reboot.

 Anyone have a silent install script that works on windows for
installing TSM Backup client?
