Rancher Desktop - Silent installation in Windows

[abcarcol]

Dear developers,

Is it possible to install Rancher Desktop for Windows in "silent" mode? I tried the following without success:

.\Rancher.Desktop.Setup.1.1.1.exe /?
.\Rancher.Desktop.Setup.1.1.1.exe /s
.\Rancher.Desktop.Setup.1.1.1.exe /silent

I don't think this is supported right now. I'll convert this discussion item into a feature request.

I think Rancher use NSIS System:

Examples:

# silent
setup.exe /S
# local folder
setup.exe /D="C:\Program Files\Rancher"
# all users and silent
setup.exe /ALLUSERS=1 /S

This command installs it silently successfully:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/releases/download/v1.8.1/Rancher.Desktop.Setup.1.8.1.msi -UseBasicParsing -OutFile .\rancher_setup.msi;
 
Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/I rancher_setup.msi /quiet' -Verb runAs;
