So, I'm not entirely sure how you'll feel about how I had to go about accomplishing the silent install package for Razer Synapse 3 because I'm not sure how you would go about automating it, but here goes.

The only way that I was able to accomplish the complete silent install of Razer Synapse 3 was to take a look at the install log and try and recreate how the web installer installs all of the components for Razer Synapse 3, but luckily the web installer downloads all of the components using publicly accessible URLs.

There are 6 components in total:

• Razer Synapse Dependencies
• Razer Central
• GMS
• Razer String Translations
• Razer Synapse Configuration Data
• Razer Synapse

Also, the web installer installs them in that specific order, I don't know how much that really matters but you do have to specify if each one is the last installed module with /ISLASTMODULE=False or /ISLASTMODULE=True. By installing each of these components separately like this all of them can be installed silently with the /S or /silent flags. Some of the components you also have to specify the install path which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Razer by default.

I'll go ahead and create a PR for how I setup my install script for the silent install, but like I said I don't know what you'll actually want to do with it because the only way that I can figure out how to get the updated links for the components is to install Synapse 3 using the web installer and looking at the install log.

There might be a way to see how the installer gets the links itself but I would have to decompile the web installer and I'm still looking into that.

Edit: I should also mention that these are just the required components and that none of the optional components are installed with this.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you on creating the issue for creating the silent install package for Razer Synapse 2. I was working with the maintainer of the Battle.net package to try and get some fixes submitted for that package and realized that things get weird when you include the installer file within the package because then you have to make sure that you have redistributable rights at that point and my original implementation included the MSI file that the Razer Synapse 2 installer extracts. And the Razer redistribution rights don't allow us to do that and publish the package to the public feed.

Anyways, I have since found a way that we can get Razer Synapse 2 package to be silently installed without having to include the MSI file in the package, although something extra that you are going to have to work out since this is an automated package is how you're going to get the checksum of the internal file. The basic premise is to unzip the Web installer and within the unzipped files there is the internal installer that you can pass the silent install flags that you are using in your package to make it be silently installed.

The steps that I did to get the silent install package:

1. Download the Web installer from https://dl.razerzone.com/drivers/Synapse2/win/Web_Razer_Synapse_Installer_v2.21.24.41.exe
2. Unzip that file using Install-ChocolateyZipPackage to the $toolsDir
3. Now there will be a $PLUGINSDIR in the $toolsDir and in there will be the executable that can take /s /v"/qn" for silent args, grab that filename with Get-ChildItem filtering for *.exe and Select-Object or something similar
4. Install that executable with Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage and the previously mentioned silent args

I will also create a PR with the code in the install script that I used and then you can do with it what you want and figure out how you want to handle automatically grabbing the checksum of the internal installer.

there is a new version of sql-workbench - are you going to update the package? https://chocolatey.org/packages/sql-workbench

i'm not sure what all needs to be updated or i'd submit a PR

The reviewer said something about a missing AHK script, I think they were talking about this. The currently available package (1.0.150.956) is pretty out of date.
