unify.exe "C:\path\to\installer.exe" /norestart /D=C:\custom\dirYou can call unify.exe from a PowerShell script in your Intune Win32 package:

Start-Process -FilePath ".\unify.exe" -ArgumentList "C:\Path\To\Installer.exe", '/norestart', '/D=C:\Program Files\MyApp' -Wait -NoNewWindowTip: Place unify.exe and your installer in the same folder, or provide the full path to each.
