Description
As requested on the forums here: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/topic/21057-silent-install-switch/
It would be convenient for some of our users to have the possibility of installing the game silently on Windows. Linux users can already do that with their package managers, so it would be nice to add the option to the Windows installer.

NSIS (the installation system we're using) has built-in support of silent installation/uninstallation (see section
"4.12 Silent Installers/Uninstallers"in http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#silent), it basically works with our install script, but I see some issues with reinstall:$INSTDIRset via/Dswitch (which is the standard way to specify the installation directory in silent mode) overrides the previous install path on uninstaller when it's called for reinstallAttached patch fixes first two issues (possible in a non-optimal way) by forcing reinstall in silent mode without asking user for
#1and by calling 'quiet' uninstaller in silent mode for#2. Third one requires additional research.
