The Dell BIOS executables do have switches. Dell does not openly publish the list. There are snippets in obscure locations on their site of two of these. There maybe more switches than I have listed, and if so, please post them, or if you know what one of the switches I have not defined does, please let me know. Before I discovered there were switches, I had gone to the trouble of writing a BIOS Silent Flash script that pushed the extracted hdr file to the system.
This thread is funny people people kept offering "help" without realizing that starting with the E6*10 and greater (UEFI machines) there were no longer these options. It's pretty obvious if you just run strings on an update EXE, or, you know, try /? and see that there is no option. at least LatinMcG stated this eventually.
I posted how to extract HDR from UEFI dell here: forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/44785-I-present-you-a-tool-to-decompress-Dell-UEFI-BIOS?p=750992
