Is there any way to automate the downloading and installing of the home edition?

And why exactly would you like to do that?

Unattended installation is a Pro feature.
There isn't an automated download.

I need it for users who aren't smart enough to install it for themselves, having an unattended version means I could install it, and walk away.

I have heard that an unattended uninstall can be done using macro software such as AutoIt, but I was wondering if there was perhaps a better way.

AutoIt is very good and works very good implementing macros and automated actions.
Unfortunately, it will take some time to program it to finish the "automated" installations, but it won't be so hard... The better will be saying to your friends just accept all the default answers in all installation steps ;)
