Architecture	Scope	Type	Source
x64	machine	EXE NSIS	Default for NSIS (Nullsoft)
x64	machine	MSI WiX	Default for WiX (MSI)

arm64	machine	MSI WiX	Default for WiX (MSI)

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).

What is the silent install command for VLC media player?

VLC media player uses EXE (NSIS). After downloading the installer, run: vlc-3.0.23-win64.exe /S. The silent install switches are /S.

How do I deploy VLC media player via Intune or Configuration Manager?
