| Architecture | Scope | Type | Silent switches | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| x64 | machine | EXE Burn bundle | Declared by publisher | |
| arm64 | machine | EXE Burn bundle | Declared by publisher |
- 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.
/Sfor NSIS,/quiet /norestartfor MSI).
