  • 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 OpenRA?
OpenRA uses EXE (NSIS). After downloading the installer, run: OpenRA-release-20250330-x64.exe /S. The silent install switches are /S.
How do I deploy OpenRA via Intune or Configuration Manager?
Use winget for the cleanest path: winget install --id OpenRA.OpenRA.Release --exact 2025.03.30 --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.
