It is possible to install DBeaver in silent mode using the Windows Installer command line parameters.
This might be very useful for mass install automation (SSCM and other similar systems).
Installer was improved in DBeaver 5.3.3, special thanks to the https://github.com/Drizin/NsisMultiUser team.

Parameters

Parameter Description
/S silent mode, requires /allusers or /currentuser, case-sensitive
