Git for Windows unattended install switches
For managed Git for Windows installs, the project’s unattended-install guide documents Inno Setup switches that are useful for endpoint packaging. A baseline silent command can use Git-*-64-bit.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /NOCANCEL /SP-. Add /CLOSEAPPLICATIONS when you want the installer to close files it is replacing, or /RESTARTAPPLICATIONS if your deployment policy allows restarted applications after setup.
For repeatable customization, capture a reference installer answer file with /SAVEINF=git.inf, then deploy with /LOADINF=git.inf. The same guide also documents component control with /COMPONENTS="icons,ext\reg\shellhere,assoc,assoc_sh"; test that list against your standard image because it changes Start Menu, Explorer integration, and file-association behavior.
For detection or post-install validation, run git --version from the managed context after setup rather than relying only on the downloaded installer name. Source: Git for Windows silent or unattended installation guide.
For managed Git for Windows updates, close Git-related windows and shells before running the x64 installer. If Git is in use during the update, the installer can return 0x80070643, so schedule the upgrade after interactive Git processes have exited.
