Major - P3 Summary
- Unattended installation documentation does not explicitly mention that Compass will be installed when using ADDLOCAL="all".
- Unattended installation does not appear to work unless Compass is selected.
Details
The Install on Windows page of the mongodb manual provides a section describing unattended installations.
When using ADDLOCAL="all", the installer downloads and installs Compass. I do not want Compass, so I uninstalled both Compass and mongo CE before re-installing using ADDLOCAL="Server,Client". This causes the installer to fail and roll back the entire installation.
