Brief description of your issue

Nullsoft installer installed applications don't uninstall silently. When trying to uninstall one of the applications, interactive uninstaller pop's up and winget reports that uninstall was successful.

I believe the uninstaller needs /S switch to uninstall application in silent way.

Steps to reproduce

Run winget install krita and then run winget uninstall krita

Expected behavior

Application is uninstalled

Actual behavior

Environment

[winget --info]
Windows Package Manager v1.0.11692
Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.19043.1165
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.12.11692.0

Any other software?

I believe Winget simply executes the uninstaller listed in the registry. I don't think it actually remembers the installer type nor has the ability to modify the command line of the uninstaller.

Ask the Krita developers to also register the silent uninstall command:

WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\${KRITA_UNINSTALL_REGKEY}" "QuietUninstallString" '"$INSTDIR\uninstall.exe" /S'

Marking this external for above, but it may also indicate a feature request that we should consider.
How easily can you silently uninstall apps?
A UI during uninstall of apps will not work very well for someone wanting to script it.
