Silent Install Switches for Windows Software

Silent (unattended) install commands for 9,799 Windows programs, taken from each program's installer type and package manifest. Use them to deploy software without clicking through setup wizards: in scripts, Group Policy, Intune, SCCM/MECM, PDQ Deploy or a fresh Windows install.

Silent switches by installer type

Installer typeSilent installNotes
NSIS (Nullsoft)setup.exe /SSwitch is case-sensitive. Use /D=C:\Path as the last argument to change the install folder.
Inno Setupsetup.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-/SILENT shows a progress window; add /DIR="C:\Path" for a custom folder and /LOG="file.log" to log.
MSI / WiXmsiexec /i "setup.msi" /quiet /norestart/qn equals /quiet; add /l*v install.log for a verbose log. Uninstall with msiexec /x {ProductCode} /quiet.
WiX Burn bundlesetup.exe /quiet /norestartUse /passive to show progress without prompts.
Any program on wingetwinget install --id=Publisher.App -e --silentAdd --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements for fully unattended scripts. The multi-app installer builds this for many apps at once.

Tip: most installers print their switches with setup.exe /?. Run silent installs from an elevated prompt, otherwise per-machine installers may show a UAC prompt.
