How to Install Auslogics File Recovery Silently with winget on Windows

Setting up Auslogics File Recovery on a fresh Windows install? Here's the cleanest one-line winget command for an unattended, no-clicks install — perfect for new-machine provisioning, golden-image scripts, and Task Scheduler jobs.

Quick answer

Open Terminal as Administrator and run:

winget install --id Auslogics.FileRecovery -e --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements

Auslogics File Recovery: Auslogics File Recovery can restore deleted files you thought were lost for good. It works with hard drives, USB storage drives, and memory cards, retrieves all file types, even from lost partitions

Typical install time: 10–60 seconds depending on installer size.

What gets installed

Inno installers respond to /VERYSILENT for a totally hidden install or /SILENT for a minimal progress dialog.

Per-user install (no admin)

If you don't have admin rights, try per-user scope:

winget install --id Auslogics.FileRecovery -e --scope user --silent

If the manifest doesn't have a user-scope installer, winget falls back with an error — in that case you genuinely need admin or use the Access denied fix.

Specify a version

To pin a known-good version (useful for reproducible CI / team standardisation):

winget install --id Auslogics.FileRecovery -e --version 12.1.1.0 --silent

List available versions:

winget show --id Auslogics.FileRecovery --versions

Override silent flags

If winget's --silent doesn't fully suppress the installer's UI, pass native flags via --override:

winget install --id Auslogics.FileRecovery -e --override "/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART"

These are the Inno Setup-native silent switches the installer recognises.

Verify after install

winget list --id Auslogics.FileRecovery

If the version is shown, the install succeeded.

Upgrade silently

winget upgrade --id Auslogics.FileRecovery -e --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements

Or upgrade as part of a bulk weekly cron — see How to update all Windows apps.

Uninstall silently

winget uninstall --id Auslogics.FileRecovery --silent --disable-interactivity

In a provisioning script

PowerShell snippet for unattended Windows setup:

$apps = @(
  "Auslogics.FileRecovery"
  # add more packages here
)

foreach ($id in $apps) {
  winget install --id $id -e --silent `
    --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
}

Wrap in Task Scheduler for one-shot machine provisioning. See Fresh Windows 11 setup.

Common errors

"Auslogics File Recovery is already installed" — winget detected the existing install. To force-reinstall over the existing copy:

winget install --id Auslogics.FileRecovery -e --silent --force

"Installer hash does not match" — Auslogics published a new version before the winget manifest updated. Wait ~24 hours or pass --force. See hash mismatch fix.

"Access denied" / 0x80070005 — run Terminal as Administrator. See Access denied fix.

0x80073D02 — package in use — Auslogics File Recovery is currently running. Close it then retry. See package in use fix.
