Hi. Is it possible to install msys2 from command line something like --quite option?

It's not yet possible because it not supported upstream by Qt Installer Framework that we use for creating our installer.

Qt Installer Framework version 2.0 was released a few weeks ago. Supposedly it supports a "-platform offscreen" option which will hide the windows. More information is here:

The argument seems to be -platform minimal, however it's not compiled in for Windows yet, see:
