About the NSIS (Nullsoft) installer
NSIS installers use /S for a silent install. Switches are case-sensitive, and /D= must come last without quotes.
| Switch | What it does |
|---|---|
/S | Silent install (capital S). |
/D=C:\Path | Install folder. Must be the last switch, no quotes. |
/allusers | Per-machine install, supported by many but not all NSIS setups. |
