Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

A user may want to click through an installer manually. In the case an autohotkey script is in use to automate the installer, the --not-silent flag does not work to skip installer automation, as the autohotkey script will still run.

If an autohotkey script is not working correctly on a user's machine, they may wish to manually click through the installer as a workaround, which is not currently possible during package installation.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

Expose the not silent flag to the automation scripts via an environment variable. Then an autohotkey (or autoit) script can be skipped, based on the status of this variable.
