Description

Package Requested
  • I would like someone else to build the manifest.
  • I would like help so I can submit the manifest.
  • I have performed a search and couldn't find this package.
  • I have checked that the installer for this package is not contained in a .zip file
  • I think there is a new version available and I have provided the URL.
Please provide the following information

Publisher: AVerMedia Technologies
Publisher Url: https://www.avermedia.com/
Package Name: AVerMedia RECentral
Description: Streaming and recording software for AVerMedia capture cards
Package Version: 4.7.44.1
Installer URL: https://storage.avermedia.com/web_release_www/software/RECentral_4_v4.7.44.1_22061501_x64.exe

I had tried to add it but turns out the exe file is a NSIS executable simply decompressing and launching a custom made installer. I am yet to figure out a way to install this silently.

Research direction

Start with the issue's installer URL and the AVerMedia RECentral package details. Investigate how the NSIS wrapper launches its custom installer and identify a supported silent-install path before reviewing the repository's manifest conventions. Done means a valid manifest can install version 4.7.44.1 unattended.
