      I’m using the /S-switch for silent install/uninstall. For unknown reasons sometimes the silent install does nothing. It returns with exit code 0 like usual, but nothing is installed. What may be the reason for this behaviour?

        Unfortunately, I don’t think you’ve given people enough to go on.

        I personally don’t use the installer options, and I’m not currently at a location where I could use the installer to test it out, so I can’t give anything specific. But some general debugging questions:

        You say “sometimes”. Do you have any hints as to when those “sometimes” are? Are you doing this installation on multiple machines, and N% of those installations are doing nothing? Or are you running the installer multiple times on the same machine, expecting it to either install or uninstall, and N% of those attempts, it doesn’t do what you expect?
