Below is a script I use to install Quicken.  

Note that although the script works as written, there are three things that puzzle me:

1.  "check_one" appears to be documented in POL, but unimplemented

2.  POL_SetupWindow_browse doesn't appear to respect the default argument

3.  POL_Wine_UpdateRegistry[Wine]Pair don't accept anything other than string arguments

I've left comments in about these conditions, but implemented workarounds nonetheless.
