Silent install of all drivers and tools. #40

I want to be able to run virtio-win-guest-tools.exe silently. I am not sure if this is already a feature? If so I can't find any documentation of it.

I know the *.msi can be run silently but does not install everything like the .exe. So I would like to either get a modification of the .msi files to install all drivers/agents or modify the .exe to run silently.

Hi Natan

"-q, -quiet, -s, -silent" any of them should work for the silent install. Can you give it a try?

Best regards, Vadim.

All of these arguments appear to work after a quick test, thank you. Were these documented anywhere? Sorry if I missed them.

Not sure if it documented somewhere in the project, but if I'm not mistaken "burn" supports standard package switches: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/standard-installer-command-line-options

Best, Vadim.
