Alternative
If you want to perform an unattended (or silent) installation of VLC, you can do so via a command-line interface. Type
in "filename" /L="languagecode" /S. For example, the English installation would look something like vlc-2.0.1-
win32.exe /L=1033 /S.

PowerShell

Installing VLC using PowerShell is as easy.

Command Prompt

You can also install VLC using the command prompt.
