  • Declared by publisher means the switches come straight from the winget manifest the publisher (or community maintainer) submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs.
  • Default for {type} means the manifest doesn't specify silent switches, so the framework's standard switches are shown (e.g. /S for NSIS, /quiet /norestart for MSI).

Frequently asked questions

What is the silent install command for WordPress.com?
WordPress.com uses EXE (NSIS). After downloading the installer, run: wordpress.com-win32-setup-8.0.4.exe /S /CURRENTUSER. The silent install switches are /S.
How do I deploy WordPress.com via Intune or Configuration Manager?
Use winget for the cleanest path: winget install --id Automattic.Wordpress --exact 8.0.4 --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements. If winget isn't viable in your environment, package the publisher's installer directly using the silent switches above.
