An exception during the installation would only block if it prevents
the process from closing (i.e., if it displays a message box). That
could happen in an installation even if the installer isn't displaying
a GUI.
What I am saying is what's important about automated installation is
that it not block (even in the case of an exception). Whether the
installer displays a GUI or not is really irrelevant, particularly if
the installation isn't running as the current user (in which case the
current user doesn't see the GUI anyway).
