I don't think you'll ever be able to find a global agreement on it.

But

A) start by opening feature request against the installer - in this case 
TEIID or Data Virtualisation product.

B) if the installer is a izpack based installer there might be ways to 
do it already: 
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/IZPACK/Unattended+Installations
    Try with java -DINSTALL_PATH=/opt/myplace -jar myinstaller.jar  to 
see if that works ?
