Silent Mode

To run an installer in silent mode, specify the /silent switch on the command line. We highly recommend that you specify a file that will receive a report, for example:

NiniteInstaller.exe /silent report.txt

Without this there will be no indication of failure or debugging information, apart from the return code of the installer.

You can also specify . as the report file to output the report on stdout (standard output):

NiniteInstaller.exe /silent .

That will work great in batch (.bat) files with Ninite installers, but if you're working interactively on the command-line you'll probably want to wait for the Ninite Installer to complete with something like:

cmd /c NiniteInstaller.exe /silent .

By default, Ninite skips the installation of applications that are already up to date on the system. The /repair switch can be used to force the re-installation of applications that are up to date. Here's an example:

NiniteInstaller.exe /silent report.txt /repair

If you are behind a proxy server that needs a user name and password, use the following switch in combination with the silent switch:

/proxyauth <user> <password>
