NIPM 19.6 silent install command-line options

[wdconsta]

Previously (19.0.0 and 19.5.0), NIPM could be installed silently (or non-interactively at least) with "/Q" on the command line.

When I try that with the 19.6.0 offline installer, I get "The command-line includes one or more obsolete options. Remove '/Q' from the command-line and reinstall".

I've tried lower-case /q and got the same message. I've also tried /qn, /s, /h, /? and --help but those made no difference, the installer tried to run interactively. The Readme on the download page doesn't offer any advice.

Can I please get some guidance on how to install this version silently/non-interactively?

Thanks.

The command line options for silent install have changed in NIPM 19.6. Please use "--passive --accept-eulas --prevent-reboot" in place of "/Q".
