Being an admin, my job is to install it silently (using "gvim81.exe /S") in a Win10 machine but this box is not being suppressed, can you help me do that?

Sorry for the late response.
This is a well known issue and there are some PR for this.
E.g. https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/751

Moreover, there are many TODO items in the todo.txt:
Improve the installer for MS-Windows. There are a few alternatives:
- Add silent install option. (Shane Lee, #751)
- Installer from Cream (Steve Hall).
- Modern UI 2.0 for the Nsis installer. (Guopeng Wen)
https://github.com/gpwen/vim-installer-mui2
- make it possible to do a silent install, see
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.12
Version from Guopeng Wen does this.
- MSI installer: https://github.com/petrkle/vim-msi/
- The one on Issue 279.
Problem: they all work slightly different (e.g. don't install vimrun.exe).
How to test that it works well for all Vim users?

Unfortunately there are no progress.

Ken Takata
