Just a counterpoint, if you run the oalinst.exe installer with the /s 
switch, there is no clicking at all, and it does it's job in less than a 
second.

Also, keep in mind that OpenAL is released under LGPL, so statically 
linking to it may have consequences. 

(I'm not saying static linking is bad, just that there are things to 
consider if you go that direction).
