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	`gvim_9.2.1186_x64.exe /S /allusers`
Uninstall command	Use the uninstaller from the install folder; winget is not available to the SYSTEM account by default.
