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 Microsoft Visual Studio Code?

Microsoft Visual Studio Code uses EXE (Inno Setup). After downloading the installer, run: VSCodeUserSetup-x64-1.124.2.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /mergetasks=!runcode. The silent install switches are /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART.

How do I deploy Microsoft Visual Studio Code via Intune or Configuration Manager?

Use winget for the cleanest path: winget install --id Microsoft.VisualStudioCode --exact 1.124.2 --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.
