Describe the bug
running agent installer with -silent argument still pops up CMD window. not sure if this is expected behavior or not even with the -silent argument. the message that says installation was successful doesn't pop up, but i was expecting the -silent argument to hide the CMD window as well
this happens if i run it through CMD or powershell
CMD: C:\Users\temp\Desktop>trmm.exe -silent
powershell: Start-Process "C:\Users\temp\Desktop\trmm.exe" -ArgumentList '-silent' -PassThru

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

run installer with -silent argument

Expected behavior
again, not sure if the CMD window popping up with the below info is still expected even with -silent argument, but i was expecting it to be truly silent/invisible

Screenshots
little blurry sorry

This is the expected behavior. Only message boxes are suppressed. If you want truly silent then run it from system via gpo or something, not from an interactive session.
