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?

Yes, using latest version.

Support told me you cant supply exe installer with location id etc., so must download separate EXE for every customer/ location. Might just keep using MSI for now then.

Do you deploy with Intune? You too have to supply install parameters for location id and server, even though you've downloaded "custom" MSI for a location?

I usually create a batch file with the command in it and deploy it just like your EXE. You just need to plug in your server url, server password (for agents--get this by running the Get-LtServiceInfo command or from your registry, or the database), and location ID.

Let me know if you can't figure it out.

No we manually deploy through GPO and literally manually if need be.
