Windows installer silent install

[rollingmoai]

Hi, I noticed the new installer on the latest version. What are the command line arguments needed to do a silent install of this one?

[rustdesk]

no

[rustdesk]

I never know such requirement

[rustdesk]

why?

I never know such requirement

why

@rustdesk My reasons are the same as #100. I would like to automate the deployment of RustDesk over multiple computers. Also, I see that an NSIS setup is merged which is exactly what I needed but is unused in the latest release. Why is that?

The new "setup" is not really a setup. It's just basically the portable RustDesk version but with the installation page and the main page swapped with the installation page put on the front. This is not a good change as it puts the installation page in an intrusive spot as people who only want to use the portable version would be nagged every time on the installation screen.

I followed AnyDesk, make RustDesk run without installation, and add the install link on the main window.

This was already perfect, why did you have to change that?

[rustdesk]

because too many users ask about UAC. you only need to modify the file name, remove "putes".

[rustdesk]

also i do not want maintain two setup

That puts my NSIS setup in #100 to waste. Your "setup" is just the same thing from the previous version with the installation page put in front as @itsmeboy0 said. If you are not gonna use the NSIS setup, put a silent installation switch to yours at least (Which was why that was created in the first place).

Also, why would UI be dependent on the file name of the running executable? That's not good practice for the least part.

[rustdesk]

it is not waste, it can be used by the guys who wanna build from source code.

Why don't you build rustdesk from the source then install it using a script?

That cannot be put into package managers like Nuget, Chocolatey, Winget, Scoop, etc. They would need to have a prebuilt binary and end-users would expect one otherwise.

@itsmeboy0 I will give you --install-silent today
