Command line installation of Extension Pack asks for Licence Agreement Confirmation

Description

Hi,

It usually worked to install the VirtualBox Extension Pack via command line, but since 5.1.20 it asks to confirm the licence agreement by pressing y/n - this seems contra productive to me as command line use is to avoid manual steps.

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" extpack install --replace "C:\Path\to\Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.20-114628.vbox-extpack"

Is there any way to supress that?

Just execute the command and read the messages written by VBoxManage. There is an --accept-license parameter.

Well, I have the same problem, and can not find any --accept-license parameter. Of course I tried inserting it anywhere in the VBoxManage command, but to no avail.

So maybe something has changed?

Of course, I found how to fix this issue after updating it, as usual :-(

The command line would be something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" extpack install --replace "C:\Path\to\Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.20-114628.vbox-extpack" --accept-license=715c7246dc0f779ceab39446812362b2f9bf64a55ed5d3a905f053cfab36da9e

You only get to see this output when you have accepted the license, and not when running VBoxManage --help, which was what I did.

So somebody can close this again, sorry.
