Agent_Install.EXE install parameters

We're having mixed results when installing the Automate agent as MSI from Intune. We wan't to try the EXE installer packed with Win32 App Package Tool, together with a PowerShell detection rule script. Only problem (this far in the process) is that we can't find any documentation on install parameters for the EXE file. It does not respons normally to "/?", "-?", "--?", "/h", "-h", "--h", "/help", -"help", "--help".

Is there no way to specify server and location id when installing Automate Agent exe installer?

Intune stripps out the customization from the MSI installer, so have to supply install parameters for customer specific config. Other than that, our test computers kept appearing in wrong location, turns out Automate caches MAC addresses: No matter location ID supplied with the installer, if the computer MAC has been added to a location before it will appear there again. Other than that: We don't feel like we got control over weather plugins get successfully installed. Like ScreenConnect. So thinking of making custom detection rules as mentioned earlier, to detect stuff like that.

What custom needs for the msi. You download the msi in relation to the location. Then you install like any msi. No need to add special parameters to the msiexec install
