      This is possible today by using Custom Apps and the PSADT.

      1. Upload Deploy-Application.exe as the "Installer"

      2. Add the additional PSADT Files and Folders

      3. Ensure that the PSADT will make the changes you need (e.g. copy files, update registry, etc).

      4. Ensure that the PSADT will create some random registry entry to be used for the detection.

      5. Create a custom detection rule instead of using the PMPC automatically generated PowerShell Script and check for the registry key the PSADT creates.
        NOTE: At the time this comment is written, the "custom detection rule" option is in preview. To enable it, please enable Preview Features from Settings\Company.

      Yes, we push some session files based on a users location. Would be great to do this with a script as in some cases that's all that is contained inside the intunewin file.
