This will be resolved in the next additionally a fixed installer as been submitted. This a product of my own inexperience with Nullsoft scripts. Will update when the fixed binary goes live. The fix is in source now.

Hi Michael,

I'm sorry to inform you that the prompt still appears in the updated installer. The QA team informed me and I tested it myself now too.

Thank you,
Adelin

Looks like I uploaded the wrong binary. Trying again. Going to keep this open until the fix can be confirmed.

The checksums are for the corrected installer. This will be replacing an existing file by the same name on the server.

Good news: Silent install is working great.

Bad news: in Add/Remove Programs, version is 1.10 (it should be 1.10.4, as it was for the unfixed installer).

Thank you!

That would be an artifact of it having been built from 1.10 tip rather than a release tar ball. Going to go ahead and rebuild to 1.10.4 installer now that silent install is working.

Confirmed working. Ticket can be closed.

Thank you for your help!
