The one-line command asks its questions as it goes. To give the answers as options instead, run the installer from the package yourself.
Run the installer from the package
- Download PowerShell installer package (
Xackup-Desktop-win-x86.zip) from the Downloads page and unzip it. - Open PowerShell as Administrator in the unzipped folder.
- Run:
.\Install-XackupDesktop.ps1
If PowerShell says running scripts is disabled, run it for this one time with the policy bypassed:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Install-XackupDesktop.ps1
