FYI - This page only supports the most recent O365 products. If you have an old version of Office, you will have to create the XML manually, which isn't terribly hard if you only need a few customizations.

For older versions (like 2016 or 2019), the traditional "Office Customization Tool" may work instead.
WinCDEmu 4.1 had a signing cert, but it's expired. Therefore you can't use /unattend without disabling driver signing.
Rodger that, I just wondered if there was another way around things, I tried to find my already signed driver from the system and maybe import that into things. What about something else that's as clean and simple that also supports NRG image formats? Any recommendations?
I didn't know this one, but Chocolatey reports:
/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-
NTLite is packaged with Inno Setup, so the parameters mentioned in the Inno Setup Help should work.
All installers which use the same package format follow the same rules for install flags. MSI files do /q or /qn
VLC doesn't have any option to prevent the desktop shortcut from being created. Of course, you can delete it from Default User's Desktop folder right afterwards to prevent it from being copied to a new user's profile.

using the run box, if you bring up the vlc file and type /? after the msi file name, it gives a list of the optional parameters.
Ntlite uses the /passive switch when the file is added to the post-setup
Does the /passive switch do anything different than /qn?
I was not aware of that. Thanks. Is there any way to prevent the icon from being created within NTLite? I'd rather not sysprep just to remove one icon.
Just add a Post-Setup command like:
You can't block the shortcut because VLC's unattended install doesn't support anything except choosing a default language. There's a huge disparity in what the interactive install does compared to the unattended mode.
Code:
cmd /c del /f "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\VLC media player.lnk"You can't block the shortcut because VLC's unattended install doesn't support anything except choosing a default language. There's a huge disparity in what the interactive install does compared to the unattended mode.
If you download the MSI installer, /qn or /quiet would install silently. If you use the EXE installer, I think the silent option is /S because the installer is built with NSIS. However I do not think it is possible to prevent creation of VLC desktop icon, since the function is hardcoded in the installer script (line 386).
/passive shows the progress bar.

This has already been addressed by garlin.
Huh, a post-setup command is such a logical response. I like it. Does that whole command go into the parameter section? Or does it all go in the first section with the parameters left empty?
Edit:
Just tried it out with cmd.exe in the first section and your command in the parameters section. Worked perfectly. Thanks everyone for the input. I'm one step closer to the perfect fully automated image.

Anyone have any luck with adding Dell Command Update 5.1.0 into post config for an install? I have extracted the file from Dell-Command-Update-Windows-Universal-Application_JCVW3_WIN_5.1.0_A00.EXE (extracts as DellCommandUpdateApp_Setup.exe). If I run this on a system that is up and running with elevated cmd prompt as DellCommandUpdateApp_Setup.exe /S /v/qn it installs silently fine, but doing the same within Post config Machine the system will just sit on a command prompt screen and never proceed. Anyone else try this at all?
Dell Command Update is now an UWP (or Store) app.
UWP apps don't install correctly from Post-Setup (Machine), because commands are run by SYSTEM, which doesn't have a normal user context. Instead, move this to Post-Setup (User) and it should finish.
You could extract the hidden Appx package and License1.xml -- but that's too much work since Dell updates this app frequently.
