Context

I use chocolatey as a package manager or software manager on different (remote) systems. WinRAR is also in my top 10 of software to be installed on new systems. I used ninite.com before, but Choco offers more applications and is fast, so now my goto-software is in order of priority is:

  1. Chocolately
  2. Windows Store (I know, but it auto-updates software)
  3. Download-it-yourself + virustotal.com

Case

Choco uses the default installation of most software packages, winRAR has always bugged me with starting a crusade taking over the context menu. VLC also has this similar habit of extending the context menu with 1 or 2 items that one never uses.

This site https://chocolatey.org/packages/winrar mentions the parameters to be set:

choco install packageID [other options] --params="'/ITEM:value /ITEM2:value2 /FLAG_BOOLEAN'"

Question

How do I use choco parameters to tell it to enable cascaded menu in winRAR?

I am assuming the package does not offer this parameter, is that correct?

So if that not possible. What command could I use in a Powershell script to run after choco install winrar to have the same result?

Please be aware that the install script might run under System and the customisation might need to run separate in a user-context. That is okay if that is a requirement.
