I have been loving GOG so far! I am new to PC gaming and i appreciate how GOG makes installing games easy for me (a console gamer since Atari 2600).
However, when I download all the files, including the DLC, does the installation process automatically install the DLC as well or do I have to click on each individual file to install it? I hope that question makes sense.

For example, I just purchased and downloaded all the files for Dying Light Enhanced Edition and it came with a lot of DLC.
When I click install game, will it also apply the DLC on it's own?

You will have to install each DLC individually after installing the main game when using the offline installer files

If installing using GoG Galaxy then all DLC should be installed along with the game at the same time

That makes sense. Thanks so much for making it clear!

When using offline installers, each DLC and the game have their own installation starters which must be used separately. If by "each individual" you mean every 4-gig data pack, no, those are just full of the code that is unpacked by the installers.

If you don't wish to use the client, you'd have to write a simple batch-installer shell-script, which should allow you to perform a silent installation.
Example script:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

REM Set installation directory (you can customize the path) and create log file
set "INSTALL_DIR=%CD%"
set "LOG_FILE=installation.log"

REM Params for InnoSetup
set "SILENT_PARAMS=/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /SP- /NOCANCEL /DIR=%INSTALL_DIR%"

REM Detect and install all .exe in folder
for %%A in (*.exe) do (
echo Installing %%A...
%%A %SILENT_PARAMS% >> "%LOG_FILE%" 2>&1
if !errorlevel! neq 0 echo Failed to install %%A >> "%LOG_FILE%"
)

echo Installation process completed. Check '%LOG_FILE%' for details.
pause
Save the above as DLCinstaller.bat. Download your DLCs, place them in a folder, and copy this batch script into that folder. When you execute the script, it will automatically loop through all .exe files and install them silently. You may still need to approve Windows User Account Control prompts for elevated rights during installation, but otherwise, the process should run automatically.
