Architecture	Scope	Type	Silent switches	Source
x64	machine	EXE NSIS	Custom: /noredist	Default for NSIS (Nullsoft)
x86	machine	EXE NSIS	Custom: /noredist	Default for NSIS (Nullsoft)

Declared by publisher means the switches come straight from the winget manifest the publisher (or community maintainer) submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs.
Default for {type} means the manifest doesn't specify silent switches, so the framework's standard switches are shown (e.g. /S for NSIS, /quiet /norestart for MSI).

Link Shell Extension uses EXE (NSIS). After downloading the installer, run: HardLinkShellExt_X64.exe /S /noredist. The silent install switches are /S.

How do I deploy Link Shell Extension via Intune or Configuration Manager?
