When I want to unattended install the HFRP I use the folowing command line.

MSIEXEC /P PSE450W2K3R02.MSP /QB / NORESTART
or
CPATCH /P PSE450W2K3R02.MSP

Then there is always a popup comming asking me to close command prompt: "You must close all applications before you install or uninstall Citrix PResentation Server. Please close the applications listed below before continuing."

Then I have to press: Cancel, Retry or Ignore.

Is there a way to bypass this? Because now I have to give input en the script waits :(

If you're doing this via a batch/CMD file then change you verbiage to this:

start msiexec /p PSE450W2K3R02.MSP /QB / NORESTART

or

start CPATCH /P PSE450W2K3R02.MSP

This will invoke the command, but allow execution to continue on the batch file. However, you'll get yourself into a bit of trouble if you're trying to deploy multiple patches within the same batch file since each of them will attempt to run in parallel and MSIExec and CPatch can only apply the patches serially. What might be a better approach is to use Citrix Installation Manager (if you're using Enterprise or Platinum Edition) to deploy the MSPs. It works great. If you don't have IM available, then any other ESD solution (SMS, LANdesk, Altiris) works as well.
