I am looking to install the AWS CLI on a Windows Server Core EC2 instance. As per the Documentation, the AWS CLI should be installed with msiexec.exe /i https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.msi.

The problem with this, is that it will attempt to bring up a GUI - Windows server core does not have any GUI, and therefore we cannot interact with it. I have tried /quiet and other such commands, but the terminal simply gives no response.

How can I install the AWS CLI on a Windows Server Core EC2 instance?
