I install the latest beta with a command script. Is there some way to install the beta NSIS package without prompts?

I assume that the silent (/S) option is disabled in the XYplorer installer.

You can install it silently and will need to do so if you push it out for ex with SCCM or other deployment tools.
The S is case sensitive, this is where I ran into issues; you must use an upper case S once you do that it will work.
Also on another note the license.ini file must be placed in the installation path so you must create a copy command to copy the license.ini file & the Admin.ini (that tells it to read the license.ini) to the install location on the last step after the install command. For example both files need to be copied to "C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer" the default install path
so assuming you have this vers as of July 2023 your .CMD or batch file would look like this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%~dp0XYplorer_24.60_Install.exe /S
copy /Y "%~dp0Admin.ini" "C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer
copy /Y "%~dp0License.ini" "C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Admin.ini file needs to tell the application to read the License.ini key with the following command
Admin.ini
[Settings]
Lic="C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\License.ini"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The License.ini file needs to have your licensing information in with this command
[Register]
Name=
Code=
You can now deploy this in any Enterprise environment.

Wow, thank you for that timely reply.

By any chance do you work for the United States federal government?

You're welcome, the 900 page help PDF file was of no use on this site, they don't even include a silent install example or anything useful for deploying it to the masses...
The answer to your second question is NO I don't work for any GOV but if I did work for the US gov I would never tell anyone ;-) lol jkn but I do work for a great company & have had to find solutions for many applications that I have not been able to find working solutions online. I know how frustrating it can be when you are trying to deploy something and you don't have an MSI file to begin with, so I'm glad i was able to help you & I always post or reply with solutions when I see problems like this out there... Hope this helps you out have a great week.
