Description

Howdy,
I'm attempting to install this silently - I've passed /install /quiet, as the instructions indicate when I run `keybase_setup_386.exe -?

However, once it installs, it appears to pop up a browser Window and the client starts.

Are there additional options that need to be passed to prevent this? Would it be too much trouble to ask that it didn't pop those windows and honor /quiet if passed?

I did look around for other issues similar to this but all I found were ones where it rebooted the machine without warning (I'd like to prevent that as well).

Research direction

Start by reproducing keybase_setup_386.exe with /install /quiet, then observe whether the browser and client launch during installation. Done means silent installation produces no windows, honors /quiet, and does not reboot the machine unexpectedly.
