How to silently install Espanso via NTLite Post-Setup?

[weehong]

Hi everyone,

I’m building an unattended Windows image and would like to integrate Espanso (the open-source text expander) using NTLite's Post-Setup page.

Has anyone successfully configured Espanso for silent deployment? Specifically, I’d like to know:

1. Silent Switches: What are the exact silent/unattended arguments needed for Espanso-Win-Installer-x86_64.exe (e.g., Inno Setup /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SP-)?
2. Context (Machine vs. User): Should it be added under the Machine (OOBE / SYSTEM) queue or the User (Logon) queue so that shortcuts, services, and startup entries initialize properly for new user profiles?
3. Autostart / Service Registration: Does Espanso require an additional command (like espanso service register or creating a startup shortcut) to launch automatically in the user session?

Any working parameters, batch scripts, or tips for getting Espanso running cleanly out of the box would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Normally I like to check what Chocolatey does (by searching your app in their install repo). If you expand the details for the package's install.ps1, you will find the silent install options. Usually the Chocolatey submitters do a good job.

For Espanso, we find: "/verysilent /norestart /nocloseapplications"
