Unattended silent install

[catch22]

How do i run the NPVRSetup silently during an unattended windows install i tried /S /s and /silent but asks for a directory.

There is an option -quiet that might be what you are looking for on a new installation.

Thanks that worked to a certain degree. I ran this from an interactive PowerShell using 

Code:

Start-Process -FilePath D:\NPVRSetup.exe -ArgumentList '-quiet' -Wait

 and it opened the default browser with the NextPVR login page (which i would rather it did not) but even after closing the browser the Start-Process did not return. This would cause a problem in an unattended installation.

Fair point but the browser is s needed to configure things anyway. You can always do manual update os NPVR.zip and SC install if you want a headless install.

Thanks for the reply. I run the Windows 10 auto install on a number of machines and would love for it complete everything completely unattended. 
NextPVR is closed source i believe so i could not help out. Is there a way to pay for features or enhancements.??

NextPVR in only for non commercial use. I can’t think why anyone installing in their own home would need a silent automated install.

Yes it is closed source Just script it with batch files. That is as simple as

Code:

rem choose your location
md "C:\Program Files\NextPVR"
cd /d "C:\Program Files\NextPVR"
taskkill /im NPVRTray.exe /f                                    
taskkill /im NextPVR.exe /f                                    
net stop "NextPVR Service"                                                        
curl https://nextpvr.com/stable/win64/NPVR.zip -O                                                                  
unzip -u NPVR.zip
rem for a new install
VC_redist.x86.exe" /install /passive /norestart  /silent
installservice.bat
rem end of new install
net start "NextPVR Service"
NPVRTray.exe
