Frequently asked questions
What is the silent install command for Rust (MSVC)?
Rust (MSVC) uses MSI (WiX). After downloading the installer, run: msiexec.exe /i rust-1.99.1-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.msi /quiet /norestart. The silent install switches are /quiet /norestart.
How do I deploy Rust (MSVC) via Intune or Configuration Manager?
Use winget for the cleanest path: winget install --id Rustlang.Rust.MSVC --exact 1.99.1 --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.
