Hi,
I have a request from users to create a package for VeraCrypt.
However, VeraCrypt requires acceptance of the license agreement.
I saw that the package was available on Chocolatey but not in the WAPT repositories.
Do you know if it will be packaged by WAPT?
Or do you have any suggestions on how to bypass this VeraCrypt acceptance requirement to allow for a silent installation?
VeraCrypt doesn't seem very keen on allowing a silent installation, at least as we can see in this post
(https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/dis ... it=25#b9b6).
Thanks a lot!
Gauthier.

Hello,
As stated in the subject line, this is not planned. The VeraCrypt installation will remain "verbose" for good reason: misuse of the product could irrevocably encrypt workstations and servers.
We have no solution for this.
Sincerely,
Alexandre

Hello Gauthier,
The Chocolatey installer isn't silent either, is it? For the software to be integrated into the WAPT store, it needs to be silent.
If you want to continue in this direction, you should be able to use the portable version of VeraCrypt. However, you will probably need to manually register the veracrypt.sys driver in your setup.py file.
Sincerely,
Denis
As Alexandre mentioned, there's a reason behind the VeraCrypt team's decision not to offer a non-silent installation. That said, the installer's source code is available, so you're free to modify and recompile it.gauthier_leclercq wrote: ↑Sep 21, 2018 - 11:48 AM I have a request from users to create a package for VeraCrypt.
