Package install "flags" per ferventcoder. Currently identifying via package's nuspec <tags>

flag description nuspec tag
silent no screens pop up
unattended may have screens pop up, but AHK or some other technology deals with that. Does not require the user to interact with the install unattended
notSilent no way to remove needing a user to click on something notSilent

Update: 2016.05.07

adgellida established the notSilent precedent. Of the 55 packages tagged notSilent, 44 of them are maintained by adgellida, who is no longer a contributor.

55 packages still use notSilent https://chocolatey.org/packages?q=tag%3AnotSilent 20 packages by dtgm

Most of the pkgs above were inherited from adgellida and require user-interaction to finish install. They have not been fixed yet.

Going to go ahead and close this out. The information here is useful, but I don't think there are any actions left in this issue.
