Git installation via cmdline with SkipDowngrade flag for Windows does not exit

[samir.so...@gmail.com]

Hi 

I was running this cmdline

%~dp0\Git-2.19.2-32-bit.exe /VERYSILENT /LOG="gitinstall_%RANDOM%.log" /LOADINF="%~dp0\gitconfig.ini" /DIR="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Git" /SKIPDOWNGRADE=1

But it seems the installer does not exit, even after it prints the following information.

2020-08-30 06:37:16.759   Successfully imported the DLL function. Delay loaded? No

2020-08-30 06:37:16.763   Message box (OK):

                          Skipping downgrade from 2.27.0 to 2.19.2

Are there any other flags I need to specify if I need to skip downgrading GIT?

In comparison, the successful installation of GIT has the log

2020-08-30 03:15:58.623   Installation process succeeded.

For anyone following along, it's being answered at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2801

Looks like some other flags are needed as well..
