Hi,
I am trying to install Geany version 2.0 silently on windows 10 64Bit VM. Please let me know if there are any parameters to install\select following features silently.

Also old and new versions coexists. Is there any way to upgrade it silently?

Use "/S" to perform a silent installation. Additionally you can use "/D=c:..." to specify the installation directory. For more details see https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Docs/Chapter3.html#installerusagecommon.
I'm not sure but it might be that the silent installation will automatically remove a previously installed version. However, this will probably not work properly if there are multiple old versions installed.
So if we uninstall previous version before installing the new one will it retain user's setting if any? and those same settings can be applied to new version after installation?
AFAIK the user configuration is normally in a user directory and isn't touched by the installer/uninstaller. The configuration arrangement has recently changed, but a newer Geany should read the old configuration on opening and write the new one, but an older Geany will of course not know about a newer configuration arrangement.
Closed #3734 as completed.
I forgot to answer the question from the OP:
Please let me know if there are any parameters to install\select following features silently.
There is no way to select/deselect components with the silent installer.
