Silent Install Command

• Oct 29, 2019 - 10:16

I'm trying to set up an unattended install for MuseScore. I've tried the following command from the website -
"MuseScore-X.Y.exe /S /D=C:\Program Files\MuseScore", but i cant get the app to install silently. would anybody be able to help?
I'm trying to install this on windows 10 64-bit machines.
thank you

The MuseScore installer is not an exe anymore since ages, but an msi, so that information is very outdated.
The current handbook pages contains a hidden hint though:


Advanced users: Silent or unattended install

  • You can install MuseScore silently with the following command

    msiexec /i MuseScore-X.Y.msi /qb-
    

see also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/command-line-options
(as per that you may want to use /qb-! or /qn)
See also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/standard-installer-c…
(and the /quiet and /passive options)

It is most probably hidded because it is untested.
If you try it out and it works, please report here and we'll 'unhide' it.
