Hello 1password team,

I am trying to manage my sofware update on WIndows 7 with Chocolatey but the 1password package is failing with this error:

2019-06-05 09:46:07,556 3820 [DEBUG] - Elevating permissions and running ["D:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\chocolatey\1password\7.3.684\1PasswordSetup-7.3.684.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /SP- /LOG="D:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\chocolatey\1password.7.3.684.InnoInstall.log" ]. This may take a while, depending on the statements.

Just to let you know, I am not even sure that you are the owner of this package.

Thanks for your help.

    Hi @520STB,

    Thank you for reaching out!

    As far as I know, we do not maintain that package and the issue you pointed out is being discussed in the comments on their website. Moreover, it is being tracked here.

    We are looking at ways to improve 1Password and its installer, so it might affect the package managers like Chocolatey. 1Password 7 for Windows is under active development at the moment, so this situation will be improved in the future.

    I hope it helps. If you have other questions, we are always here for you. Thank you!

    This is an issue with the installer itself. Trying to silent install with the /VERYSILENT flag causes the same error even when run by hand in a command window.

    7.2.617 installs fine with the /VERYSILENT flag.
    7.3.684 does not.

    Please fix the install package.

    @crkinard: We do not support other people's software, so we don't have control over the behaviour of the package manager you're trying to use. Previous versions of 1Password used a different installer. We've built a new one, and it does not have the same command line flags as what we were using previously. It's possible we'll add more options in the future, but this is working as designed.

    When trying to silent install 1Password silently it throws the following error.

    error: Found argument '/VERYSILENT' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

USAGE:
    1PasswordSetup-7.3.684.exe [OPTIONS]

For more information try --help

    This is the command that was run.

    1PasswordSetup-7.3.684.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /SP-

    This command works fine with the 7.2.617 installer.

    EDIT 1: On further testing using ANY command like argument (even /? to show what the arguments are) causes the installer to throw an error.

    Actually it seems that all command line arguments have been removed. When running with -h this is all that is displayed.

    starter 7.3.684
1Password remembers them all for you.

It's that simple.

USAGE:
    1PasswordSetup-7.3.684.exe [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -i, --install_path <INSTALL_PATH>    Optional: Custom install location
    -l, --log_path <LOG_PATH>            Optional: Custom log file location

    These options need to be brought back to allow silent scripted installs of the software.

    EDIT 2: I hate beta testing software for people but I tried the 7.3.702 beta. It has a --silent argument (found by running the installer with -h). But it is far from silent. It spews a mess of log text to the console then launches 1Password. sigh

    @crkinard: That's correct. The new installer doesn't support many command line arguments. If there are specific ones you would like to request, let us know the use case and details and we'll evaluate your request along with feedback from everyone else.Either way, we'll continue to improve the new installer over time.
