We perfectly support silent installation. What we don't support is silent
installation under non-elevated rights. Which is OK, since being able to
install to a restricted directories like Program Files from non-elevated rights
is a security breach.

Winget packager needs to issue a warning that winget needs to be run from admin
console. Or it needs a complete repackage, as portable installers do, to
install to a user directory.

Closing NOTOURBUG again.
