Chocolatey-coreteampackages: (nmap) Fails automatic verification tests on v7.90
Expected Behavior
The automated verification test on chocolatey.org to succeed.
Current Behavior
The verification test for version 7.90 of nmap is currently failing with a message saying that silent installation is only supported in Nmap OEM (I can not find any reference on such a thing on their website).
Possible Solution
May require the usage of autohotkey (which I have zero to little knowledge about).
Context
Prevents the latest version of nmap to be approved for download.
Your Environment

I'm not sure they already decided what are they nowadays:
https://github.com/nmap/npcap/blob/master/LICENSE
"Even though Npcap source code is publicly available for review, it is not open source software"
https://nmap.org/
"Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source (license) utility"

Yeah i don't even know how to do silent install now so now what do we do install the oem version or if you said need autohotkey how do we use that to get silent install?

The best option is to convert the package to use the zip file.
Then using the Chocolatey Get-UninstallRegistryKey Helper to find a prior install location, or extract to the $toolsdir folder.

@RedBaron2 @AdmiringWorm The only thing with that is npcap will need to be a dependency

OEM installer is commercial one so silent options can not be used anymore. I tried with AHK installer and it seems to work. Zip is also an option but it doesn't have everything setup has (stuff could be added via dependencies).
I think it should work now but will be available from next version as I didn't manage to force update now.

OK, I managed to publish new version.
Give it a go: https://chocolatey.org/packages/nmap/7.91.0.20201123

It still fails verifier but for different reason.

It looks like it blocked when installing vcredist2008. Its probable that some popup blocked it that showed on old Windows Server that verifier is using. If I can get that popup I could fix it, but I don't have working verifier vagrant image with me.
I tested this in Windows Sandbox and locally and it works fine. Maybe verifier should be skipped now. Alternative would be to add vcredist2008 as dependency and hope it skip it.
