I think the catalog should allow for non-silent installers, with a clear note so the user will know some interaction is needed. There are some almost silent installers that require an additional confirmation, like a driver installation, which has to be there. Another example is Logitech software, most of that is not silent anymore (and we should blame the developer for this), but the installation is just one click away. Some rules could be defined, eg: no more than X clicks, no bundled PUA, and so on. |

The current logic in validation, excludes installers that require user interaction. One of the main challenges is the complexity of verifying these packages install. It would likely require additional manual validation. The other challenge is that it would prevent users from being able to install multiple packages with import, and being able to "walk away" and come back to a completed install.
If we were to begin allowing interactive installers, we would likely also need to add extra meta-data for search to identify these kinds of packages, and optionally ignore or avoid them for users who are looking for silent/scriptable installs.
The issue below represents and example of a package that once supported silent install, and now appears not to.
