In an automation scenario, I want to install VS 2022 non-interactively. I download the VisualStudioSetup.exe and try running it with different parameters, but regardless of what I do that dreaded dialog pops up, requiring a button click. Which parameter am I missing? I tried passive, quiet, NoRefresh, SuppressRefreshPrompt.
I would also like the exe to wait until the installation is finished.

Hi @Mikhail Nikitin,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
Please use the command: VisualStudioSetup.exe --quiet --wait.
It prevents any user interface from being displayed until the installation is finished.
Sincerely,
Anna

Thanks. I was using /quiet. The tool might be more user friendly by telling me the argument is incorrect :-)
--wait doesn't see to work, though.
Hello, the parameter --quiet works fine on my side. Could you share me the specific command line you used? Did you install VS from the Internet or a network layout?
