--advanced command line flag doesn't work

Description

With OSGeo4W installer version 2.579, the --advanced command line flag seems to have the opposite effect:

  • without --advanced, the installer starts with the "Advanced Install" radio button selected
  • with --advanced, the installer starts with the "Express Install" radio button seleted.

What I see is that in my .bat script, in an environment where I first delete the INSTALL_ROOT before the first command:

%STAGE_ROOT%\osgeo4w-setup-x86_64.exe --advanced --arch x86_64 --autoaccept --delete-orphans --no-desktop -l %STAGE_ROOT%\osgeo64_install --site "http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/v2" --upgrade-also --packages gdal --root %INSTALL_ROOT% -q

%STAGE_ROOT%\osgeo4w-setup-x86_64.exe --arch x86_64 --autoaccept --delete-orphans --no-desktop -l %STAGE_ROOT%\osgeo64_install --site "http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/v2" --upgrade-also --packages proj --root %INSTALL_ROOT% -q

The first command to install gdal does a successful silent install in advanced mode as expected. This is running a fresh install.

In the second command, installing proj in the existing INSTALL ROOT, I have the bug described above. If I run the command with the --advanced flag, then it opens an Express Window (with GDAL checked) instead. If I take the --advanced flag away, the proj installation works in advanced mode.

So I think the problem described above is something that happens when the install directory already exists. I think if @tdanckaert deletes their install directory before running, they will find that the --advanced flag is working.
