<pre>The LLVM Windows installer (currently LLVM-3.6.2-win32.exe) cannot be installed
silently or locally, and accepts no command line arguments (including `/?`,
`/h`, `-h`, `--help`, or `-?`). Nor is there any way to obtain LLVM on Windows
without modifying the registry.
This is an especially an issue for Windows package managers like Chocolatey,
which want to distribute zip/7z/tar.gz/tar.xz archives (or even MSI) of
"portable" Windows binaries, and to install them to a sandboxed location (like
C:/ProgramData/chocolatey/lib/llvm/) and symlink them into a common folder in
the PATH (like C:/ProgramData/chocolatey/bin).
The build scripts should be modified to produce either a
zip/7z/tar.gz/tar.xz/msi archive of the Windows binaries, or if all else fails
to add options to ".exe" installer to enable silent, local installation.</pre>
