Coding Pack for Java - Silent install?

Question

Is there a Windows silent install for the Coding Pack for Java? I have JavaCodingPack-0.4.1.exe and I have tried /? to no avail and tried various other switches. Trying to get this together for a class of coders.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/java

There was no silent installation I could see.
