/USERNAME= seems to be missing from the /? results. /PASSWORD= is still showing.

My goal is to get  ProtonVPN to allow /USERNAME= & /PASSWORD= to work for their compiled installer.  I noticed they use your software and I am trying to add a New Feature Request for that functionality.  But today, while documenting a solution for them I don't see the /USERNAME listed.  About a year ago that /USERNAME was listed,  but today its not.  Including on your website its not there either.  

The goal is to allow your installer to install ProtonVPN during the spin up of the Windows Sandbox that comes with the Win10&11 Pro versions.  Win Sandbox Is a useful tool to surf the web during these crazy days of all sorts of exploits as another layer of defense.

Hi,

The /PASSWORD parameter is intended for use with password-protected installers. Since the ProtonVPN installer is not password-protected, specifying /PASSWORD will have no effect.

Regarding /USERNAME, that parameter has never been a part of Inno Setup. The installer always runs under the context of the user as determined by Windows.

You may want to ask this question on a Windows Sandbox or general Windows automation forum, as it does not appear to be related to Inno Setup script development. If I have misunderstood, please clarify.

Greetings,
Martijn

Ok.  It was a long time where I saw the /username=, It must have been some other software.  Thanks, Bill
