Pkgadd problem

Hi there, I need to install the Sun explorer package on hundreds of boxes and am writing a script to install it ..However, When you run

Code:
pkgadd -d SUNWexplo

It is interactive .....well i say interactive ...it gives you two questions both of which I answer a simple yes to.

So i tried

Code:
pkgadd -n SUNWexplo

but it says
Code:
"Installation of <SUNWexplo> was suspended (interaction required)."

mmmmm, interaction required ..ok, ill use pkgask to create a response file, but when I run

Code:
pkgask -r SUNWexplo

i get ....
Code:
pkgask: ERROR: package does not contain an interactive request script


so it is interactive, then it isnt interactive .....??? does anybody know if i can get this to install without asking me questions

any help would be greatly appreciated
