Overview

Silent install steps

Run any one of the methods below to install Opera Stable silently with zero user interaction. Command Prompt and PowerShell produce the same result — use whichever fits your deployment workflow.

Method 1: Install with Command Prompt

Deployment Notes

Key facts to confirm before rolling this out to production machines — permissions required, scope of install, and reboot behavior.

Detection Rules

Configure your deployment tool with the detection rule below to confirm a successful install of Opera Stable. The same rule work for Microsoft Intune, SCCM, PDQ Deploy, and most RMM platforms — just paste the values into the matching fields.

Registry detection

PowerShell detection script

Prefer a script-based check? Use this as a custom detection script in Microsoft Intune (or any tool that supports detection scripts). It exits 0 when Opera Stable is detected and 1 otherwise.

$Key = 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Opera 132.0.5905.37'
$Value = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $Key -Name 'DisplayVersion' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).'DisplayVersion'
if ($Value -eq '132.0.5905.37') { exit 0 }
exit 1

Deployment Examples

Drop one of the snippets below into your deployment tool, Group Policy, or scheduled task. Each script wraps the silent install command for Opera Stable as a batch file or PowerShell script — copy, save, and run.

Batch file example

Save the following content as install-opera-stable.bat in the same folder as the installer.

@echo off
cd /d "%~dp0"
Opera.Opera.132.0.5905.37.X64.exe /install /silent /norestart /launchopera=0 /setdefaultbrowser=0 /allusers=1
exit /b %errorlevel%

PowerShell script example

Save the following content as install-opera-stable.ps1 in the same folder as the installer.

Set-Location -Path $PSScriptRoot
$Installer = 'Opera.Opera.132.0.5905.37.X64.exe'
& $Installer /install /silent /norestart /launchopera=0 /setdefaultbrowser=0 /allusers=1
exit $LASTEXITCODE
