"else" install the app again with the msiexec silent switch
Something like that?

Was looking for instructions for running a .bat file as the setup file for intunewin
Where the bat calls PS and deletes the file (I can do this)
then calls the msi to install new - this I dont understand.
If I want intunewin to run a PS script then run the installation? not clear how
