How to silent install without it running using winget?

[eggbean]

I have a script which installs stuff on a new installation of Windows, including WingetUI. It runs as admin, as it does a lot of other stuff as well.

winget install -e --id SomePythonThings.WingetUIStore

This makes WingetUI run after installation and that also makes other things not install afterwards for some reason.

winget install -e --id SomePythonThings.WingetUIStore --override "/NoAutoStart"

Now I get asked if I want to install for all users or just the current user.

winget install -e --id SomePythonThings.WingetUIStore --override "/NoAutoStart /ALLUSERS"

Now I get asked which language.

winget install -e --id SomePythonThings.WingetUIStore --override "/NoAutoStart /ALLUSERS /LANG=english"

Now the installer dialog thing comes up.

winget install -e --id SomePythonThings.WingetUIStore --override "/SP /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /NoAutoStart /ALLUSERS /LANG=english"

How the program runs after installation (as admin) and things are no better than they were when I started.

How do I do this?

What do you want to achieve?

I want to install WingetUI using winget within a setup script and not have WingetUI automatically start after it's installed and requiring no user input (unattended).

My excuses, it seems the flag /NoAutoStart broke somehow. I have fixed this issue, and the next installer should have this issue fixed.

The last command-line you shared should work then

Thanks. Just to confirm, will all of these really be required?

/SP /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /NoAutoStart /ALLUSERS /LANG=english

Yes, since you are overriding the options in which WinGet calls the executable

Now that your fix is in the current version, /NoAutoStart is working now so the application doesn't start after installation.

However, it always reinstalls when I run the script, whereas all other packages are only reinstalled if there is an new version compared to the one installed. It's not a big deal, but why is it happening? This is what I am using:

winget install -e --id SomePythonThings.WingetUIStore --override "/SP /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /NoAutoStart /ALLUSERS /LANG=english"

I do not know, I will investigate

Thanks.
