Is it possible to install vMix silently via Powershell?

e.g. something like that

$installFile = "vmix23.exe"
Start-Process $installFile -ArgumentList "--silent" -Wait -NoNewWindow

Because I need to install vmix by using powershell, with no user-interaction

Commonly that's achieved by the proper non-interactive/silent flag

No, I did not figure it out yet. I am not a Windows person, so having been trying different Powershell options. My goals is to pre-bake AWS AMIs with Vmix pre-installed via Packer

So ignore my previous answer. This works:

Start-Process -FilePath $installer -ArgumentList "/VERYSILENT" -Wait

yes, I think it worked. Testing it now. e.g.


########################## variables ###########################################
$region = "us-east-1"
$bucket = "s3://my-packer-s3-bucket-fakename"
$downloadFolder = "vmix"
$tempFolder = "C:\cfn\downloads"
$region = "us-east-1"
$installFile = "vmix23.exe"
################
function Get-TimeStamp {

return "[{0:MM/dd/yy} {0:HH:mm:ss}]" -f (Get-Date)

}
########################## download package ####################################

if (!(test-Path -Path $tempFolder)) {mkdir $tempFolder}
aws s3 sync $bucket/$downloadFolder $tempFolder\$downloadFolder
Write-Output "$(Get-TimeStamp) $installFile has been downloaded into $tempFolder\$downloadFolder"
########################## install package ######################################
Start-Process $tempFolder\$downloadFolder\$installFile -ArgumentList "/VERYSILENT" -Wait -NoNewWindow
Write-Output "$(Get-TimeStamp) $installFile has been installed"
