Hi everyone, It's my first time using winutil, I have to say that I'm loving it so far. However, I have a question, is there a way to skip this prompt below (i.e an option to indicate before install that I want to answer to every time).
I personally need this because sometimes I just want to leave the programs to install themselves while I go out, so I won't be able to click the prompt which will result to the other programs in the queue not being installed. |

PS: If we don't have the feature at the moment, I'm happy to implement the feature and create a PR |

At the moment there's no option to disable the prompt. Background: the logic with the prompt exists, because some programs (like Spotify) really want to be installed in the user context without admin rights and this was the first workaround Chris found but there are most definitely more elegant ways to accomplish the goal |

I am also getting the prompt for "installation with specific user" on some of the applications I want to install. I don't know how to pass this screen. It would be great if someone would help me by guiding me through to follow some steps to pass it. |

However, I think the install logic is due for a rework anyways in the near future because the script got quite bloated, unreadable and not even close to all winget exit codes are implemented and sometimes the winutil therefore thinks the install has completely failed even though there was some kind of other meaning behind the exit codes, so if your motivated and up to the task, I would say go for it and code a PR.
