 To perform an installation with minimum interaction, run:

 ~~~shell
-dktools-4.40.0-WINDOWS-10-mingw64-nsis.exe /S /D=C:\P\Kr
+dktools-4.41.0-WINDOWS-10-mingw64-nsis.exe /S /D=C:\P\Kr
 ~~~

 The /D=C:\P\Kr  parameter is optional, it selects a non-standard installation directory.
 When used, this must be the final parameter. Write the directory without any quotes. Anything from /D= until command line end is treated as directory name. There is no requirement to escape spaces.
