Virtual audio cable installer does not have silent mode on. Therefore can not use following command

Start-Process -Wait -FilePath 'c:\software\vac460\setup64.exe' ArgumentList"/S /v/qn"

Is there another way to install application without user intervention.

The Virtual Audio Cable product never had the "virtualaudiocable.exe" installer. I'm afraid you are confusing it with something else.

I emailed the developer for VAC to ask this same question. He responded:

You can add "-s -k 30570681-0a8b-46e5-8cb2-d835f43af0c5" to the setup.exe command line.

I have confirmed that this worked using VAC 4.64:

.\setup64.exe -s -k 30570681-0a8b-46e5-8cb2-d835f43af0c5

The installer returns immediately and the process installs in the background. However the installation only took about 10 seconds at most. If you needed to catch a failed install I would suggest monitoring the active audio device and timing out based on that.

Installation log file (on my system) went to C:\Program Files\Virtual Audio Cable\install.log

Here is a way on how i made it work with silent installation. I've used -i -h

#$version       = $env:chocolateyPackageVersion -replace "(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+).*",'$1.$2.$3' 

$toolsDir   = "$(Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition)"
$fileLocation = Join-Path $toolsDir 'VBCABLE_Setup_x64.exe'
$packageName = 'VBCable'


$packageArgs = @{
  packageName    = $packageName
  fileType       = 'exe'
  file           = $fileLocation
  silentArgs     = " -i -h "
  softwareName   = 'VBCable'
  validExitCodes= @(0, 3010, 1641)
  # Checksums are now required as of 0.10.0.
  # To determine checksums, you can get that from the original site if provided. 
  # You can also use checksum.exe (choco install checksum) and use it 
  # e.g. checksum -t sha256 -f path\to\file
  checksum       = '186892503330970C8E8D561ADF9B71BD15CD93589306EC00FA60009EBF611EE6'
  checksumType   = 'sha256' #default is md5, can also be sha1, sha256 or sha512
  checksum64     = '186892503330970C8E8D561ADF9B71BD15CD93589306EC00FA60009EBF611EE6'
  checksumType64 = 'sha256' #default is checksumType

}

-s -k GUID did not work for me any more, but I found the solution at https://github.com/gcloudrig/gcloudrig/issues/40, https://github.com/gcloudrig/gcloudrig/commit/68c0c4a289d7127ee3c9b147fd392d150bfa0eab and https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/963b71526274f236ddc82e6becf1ef501310ffda47100d3be52b9c8e3ca9b937?environmentId=120 :

VBCABLE_Setup_x64.exe -h -i -H -n

Run this from an elevated command prompt, of course.

But it still asked me whether I trust this driver. To solve that, too: Open any CAT-file of this driver and click the "View certificate" button, click the button to install the certificate, then find it in certmgr.msc under "Other People", export it as CER-file and frist run

certutil.exe -addstore "TrustedPublisher" vbcable.cer

on any target machine before running the setup
