Hi there,

Could anyone tell me if there is a way to run a silent / unattended installation of Slicer on Windows 10 please?

Many thanks

It is a NSIS installer so you can use the /S flag to run it silently. There is also a /D flag if you want to specify a different install location from the default.

```auto
./Slicer-4.11.0-2019-03-20-win-amd64.exe /S

```

Also, if you don’t need the windows menu shortcut and other installer side-effects you can just copy the Slicer directory around or unpack a zip file. Everything should be locally self-contained (except settings and extensions).
