Discord.Discord installer type

[AdreKiseque]

I notice the manifest for Discord's installer specifies having interactive and silent installer modes, but it doesn't have any explicit switches defined on how they're used. How does WinGet know how to call the installer without this information?

There used to be a silent switch --silent, which could suppress any interactive windows showing up, but also skip the Discord's initialization process (technically the version database generation triggered by --squirrel-firstrun during installation), which breaks Discord and thus removed in #77956. Since there is no better solution, the switch fields are left empty and WinGet will simply run the installer without any parameters.

Hm... interesting. So the installer has a native switch that just, breaks it? How bizarre.
