it still comes up with Commander interface.
Other changes are recorded ok such as no check for updates and no desktp shortcut.

Thanks for your post.
This bug has been added to the tracker:

Meanwhile you can set the respective registry key in your script:

REGEDIT4



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Configuration\Interface]

"Interface"=dword:00000001

When i create an unattented installation file .inf file using /SAVEINF=wincmd.inf paremeter, it doesn't record that i changed the Initial user settings/User interface style from Commander interface to Explorer interface.
When i install silently using this command: winscp435setup.exe /LOADINF=winscp.inf /SILENT
it still comes up with Commander interface.
