    What flags do I have to pass to the Windows installer to perform a silent install?

    I was writting a nuget script for including a mplayer package in chocolatey, but I can't seem to find a way for the installer to install silently without user interaction.

    According to ussf program, your installer is an "NSIS package", which should wok with an "/S" flag. However, this does not work and it keeps showing the graphical window. Did you disable unatended install?

    According to this page:

    Incidentally, all /S does is change the installer script's
    SilentInstall attribute from "normal" to "silent". What
    effect this has, exactly, depends on the person who wrote
    the script.
    If /S does not perform a silent install, consider
    submitting a bug report to the installer's creator.
    


    it should be a missing feature.
