Look up NSIS installer…

Appears /S option may be correct

Thanks Jody,
I tried the following to set installation directory:
Geoserver-2.21.0-winsetup.exe /S /D=C:\path\to\install\dir
However /D parameter is not considered and the geoserver gets installed in the default directory … any idea?
Thanks,
Johannes

I was not aware of the /D parameter?

Q: Where did you find that?

It could be you need to review/test/update the geoserver NSIS installer configuration.

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/main/src/release/installer/win/build/geoserver_winsetup.nsi

If the author of the above script was not aware of the /D option then it would not of been tested.
