Silent deployment with SYSTEM user

[nicedevil007]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.55.0

Running as admin

• [ ] Yes

Area(s) with issue?

Installer

Steps to reproduce

As it was possible with previous versions we could do PowerToysSetup-0.55.0-x64.exe --extract_msi This file then could be used to do a silent deployment with SCCM f.e.

msiexec /i powertoys.msi /qn

✔️ Expected Behavior

MSI File can be extracted or the documentation will tell us how to deploy it in silentmode.

❌ Actual Behavior

MSI File is not extracted anymore

Ahhh I have missed those lines there, I only saw the chocolatey stuff and so on but not the new extraction methods. Because there are silent / quiet switches for the exe I may ask if there is a switch for removal as well?

@nicedevil007 what do you mean by removal?

Uninstallation of powertoys, what is the switch for this on the exe file?

[crutkas]

/uninstall /silent would uninstall with silent. Grabbed it via https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/standard-installer-command-line-options which we did link in the docs :)

@crutkas ok I found the issue why we didn't find the exe-args at the position you told me... because the german /de-de page doesn't has them.

@nicedevil007 It sometimes just takes a while until the changes to the docs get translated.
