... but even though I updated my PR to get rid of all Switches entirely... it still complains about those switches!

from winget-pkgs.

Okay, maybe I misinterpreted the warning... is it just complaining that the EXE installer type in general is not ideal? In which case... I don't know what to do.

from winget-pkgs.

@jazzdelightsme, we're balancing the desire to have a great UX for the user installing software (silent and unattended install) with the various packages out in the wild. Many .exe installers have switches that provide this behavior (that's what we're hoping will be provided). Some install silently as a default behavior (no switches necessary). Some have a required EULA or only some kind of interactive install requirements.

We're trying to find a way to say "We don't know what this .exe does. Please add switches for a silent or silent with progress experience."

from winget-pkgs.

That's what my first attempt did--I supplied the SilentWithProgress switch... but apparently that didn't prevent the warning.

Or do I have to have BOTH? This EXE does not have an all-the-way-silent mode as far as I can tell.

from winget-pkgs.

@jazzdelightsme the warning currently appears unless you have both "Silent" and "SilentWithProgress" switches in the manifest. The PR shouldn't automatically "fail", however.

@jazzdelightsme It's been a while since this issue was created. I believe we've updated the validation code several times since this happened. I believe this issue may be resolved now.
