Description

The "AnythingLLMDesktop.exe" installer seems to take /currentuser, but doesn't have a /?, /h or /help file (I was looking for silent install. 'AnythingLLMDesktop.exe /currentuser /S' acts like it's silent-installing but doesn't actually install)

"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\AnythingLLM\Uninstall AnythingLLM.exe" can take /currentuser and /S for silent uninstall.

Undocumented! I didnt even know that existed 😆!

Either way, we use Electron-builder so the NSIS installer has the typical args (except apparently the ones you expect?)

A silent install would require /D for the path or else it cannot continue
\AnythingLLMDesktop.exe /currentuser /S /D="C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\AnythingLLM"
