how do i tell winget-create to silently install?

[denelon]

@BAW2501
are you referring to winget install wingetcreate --silent

or are you referring to the manifest generated by the tool?

[BAW2501]

Referring to the manifest file i how do i add command line args like \s for example to the installer?

[denelon]

@BAW2501 the wingetcreate tool will attempt to detect the installer type. If it is able to determine MSIX, MSI, NullSoft, Inno, or one of the other known installer types, the switches are not needed. If the installer type is .exe and the tool is not able to detect, you would likely need to look up the correct argument(s).

They live in the "Installer" node in the YAML manifest.

ETA on next release?

[denelon]

No commitment here, but I'd expect:

DEV build likely in late June or early July.
Stable build likely in September.

Next business day or two.

[denelon]

Too many different repositories 🤦‍♂️

I thought I was replying in winget-cli.

@OfficialEsco
We ran into an issue with a dependency delaying the release. We're still working on it.
