Function IsSilentMode
After adding a splash panel to my install, my testers complained that the splash panel was shown even if they specified /S (silent mode) on the command line. I guess this can be a common problem, so I enclose the function I created to handle it.

; IsSilentInstall
;
; By Nils-Morten Nilssen
; Returns on top of stack
; 0 (Not silent mode Commandline did not contain " /S")
; or
; 1 (User specified silent mode on command line)
;
; NOTE: You cannot use this function to test on SilentInstall=silent
; But in that case you already KNOW, so why test?
;
; Usage:
; Call IsSilentInstall
; Pop $0
; ; $0 is now "1" if silent mode was specified on commandline
; ; We can use this to suppress the splash pane
; IntCmp 1 $0 AfterSplash
; SetOutPath $TEMP
; File splash.bmp
; File splash.exe"
; ExecWait '"$TEMP\splash.exe" 5000 $HWNDPARENT $TEMP\splash'
; Delete $TEMP\splash.exe
; Delete $TEMP\splash.bmp
; AfterSplash:
