I have seen the options that allow to expedite the update process with a command line, and the GUI is still displayed. I don't think this works if you're trying to use these options from a SSH remote access, i.e. you'd still need access to Windows to run the setup so the GUI can be displayed. (I'm not sure on this point exactly. Seems like I tried it.) I will look a the link for the source, to see how difficult it may be to assist.

No, it's only the 289th time, which probably accounts for why you couldn't
find it with Google. ;-) These kinds of features are missing from
'setup.exe' because there hasn't been a volunteer contributor for them.
If you're interested in contributing something, see the link below:
OK, the update of setup is not supported, but setup DOES in fact allow fully command line based operation. I know because I moaned about it, collected and tested patches, and even contributed a minor fix to the option parsing.
That's true but I believe the OP was lamenting that there wasn't a version that didn't still have the GUI even when run from the command line. If I'm wrong, then I'm sure you've made the OP's day. :-)
