About the NSIS (Nullsoft) installer

NSIS installers use /S for a silent install. Switches are case-sensitive, and /D= must come last without quotes.

Switch	What it does
`/S`	Silent install (capital S).
`/D=C:\Path`	Install folder. Must be the last switch, no quotes.
`/allusers`	Per-machine install, supported by many but not all NSIS setups.

Package the installer as a Win32 app (.intunewin) and use these settings:

Install command	`"Scratch 3.32.1 Setup.exe" /S /allusers`
