I script my windows reinstall and that includes running my GOG installs from powershell. At some point, GOG updated installers to include the version number of the installer, and these installers now crash with /verysilent given to it, rather than running.
An example of a script I would run:
Write-Host "Installing Shenzhen IO"
start-process '\\share\ISOs\GoG\Shenzhen IO\setup_shenzhen_io_gog-1_(10022).exe' -ArgumentList '/verysilent /dir=c:/gogInstalls/shenzhenio/' -NoNewWindow -Wait
This works fine on older installers but the new update now causes it to not work. I've tried replacing /verysilent with /s but it now pops up the installer in interactive mode. Does anyone have any idea what the new switches are or what command line switches are missing in the new gog installers?
I've also run it with /log and I get this error with /verysilent
