Win32 Installer: silent install via parameter possible?

Hello,

is there a way to install the game to many machines via software deployment tools using a config file for the installer or via command line parameters?

These tools are AFAIK for automated installation on ONE machine (like apt or rpm on Linux) but not for MANY machines. We are using OPSI for mass deployment of our software packages and all we need are switches for the installer to tell him to install without any user interaction with a set of default settings (install path, install for all users, etc) either via config file or command line parameters. So, are there parameters available for controlling the setup process? Is there any documentation for the installer itself?

Thank you very much for your support.

The installer is a standard NSI installer so the /S flag should work. https://github.com/StanleySweet/0AD-Chocolatey-Package/blob/master/0ad/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1

Another solution is to install it on one machine, zip the contents of the installation folder and deploy that everywhere, the game doesn't need any registry keys, and can even work as a portable version.

Out of curiosity, would mind telling us the reason you need such a massive install ?
