I appreciate the response and the provided script, but
the question remains whether I am doing something wrong

Specifically, in the Target field of my shortcut's

Today I wanted to script an unattended install of cygwin.
It works well. However, I also wanted to be able to do it without
showing a window to the user at all.
Suggestion/feature request:
for --quiet-mode start minimized, or perhaps add a "--start-minimized" option.
Cheers.
