MiKTeX 25.12 unattended installation is not working

[Aayushaw]

I am creating another issue because the previous one was closed without any discussion. [( https://github.com//issues/509)]

I tried the method mentioned by another user, and here are the outputs:

PS C:\local> .\miktexsetup_standalone.exe --version

As shown in the output, the setup utility reports:
this is MiKTeX Setup Service 5.5 (MiKTeX 23.4)
I tried using a different repository as well, but that did not change the result:

PS C:\local> .\miktexsetup_standalone.exe --verbose --local-package-repository=C:\local\miktex --package-set=complete download --remote-package-repository=https://muug.ca/mirror/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/

Could someone please clarify whether this is expected behavior, or suggest a solution?

@edocevoli, I’ve attached the verbose output. Could you please guide me on what I might be doing wrong?

@edocevoli did you get a chance to check the above issue?
