Architecture	Scope	Type	Silent switches	Source
x64	user	MSI WiX		Declared by publisher

Declared by publisher means the switches come straight from the winget manifest the publisher (or community maintainer) submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs.
Default for {type} means the manifest doesn't specify silent switches, so the framework's standard switches are shown (e.g. /S for NSIS, /quiet /norestart for MSI).

Frequently asked questions

What is the silent install command for SDL3?

SDL3 uses MSI (WiX). After downloading the installer, run: msiexec.exe /i SDL3Installer.msi /qn. The silent install switches are /qn.

How do I deploy SDL3 via Intune or Configuration Manager?

Use winget for the cleanest path: winget install --id RobedPixel.SDL3 --exact 3.4.2 --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements. If winget isn't viable in your environment, package the publisher's installer directly using the silent switches above.

Where do these silent switches come from?

The switches marked "Declared by publisher" come from the winget manifest the publisher (or community maintainer) submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs. Switches marked "Default for MSI (WiX)" come from the installer framework's documented defaults.
