How to depoly an app to Intune devices Link to heading

What we need to do is make a .intunewin file with this github project.

  1. First step is to downlaod the app you want to use. I will be using Google Chrome but this will really work for any app.
  2. Then downlaod the whole github project. Just click code then “Downlaod zip”
  3. Unzip the github project
  4. With in the github project folder make to folder “in” and “out” without the quotes.
  5. Then put the exe file or the app you want to use in the “in” folder
  6. then from the root folder of the github project run this command
./IntuneWinAppUtils -c in/ -s google.exe -o out/
  • Just replace the “google.exe” with the file name of the app you want to depoly
  1. Then go to intune
  2. then got Apps -> Windows apps -> create
    1. put the app type as “Windows app (Win32)”
    2. then add the .itnunewin file.
    3. fill out all the info. If you want it avaible in the company portal then but yes for “Show this as a featured app in the Company Portal”
    4. Each app needs install and uninstall command. Sadly each program is different so I can not help with this.
    5. Add requirments as far as OS requirments, etc.
    6. Dection rules. What I try to do with this install the program. Find where the program exe file is and use that as a detection
    7. Skip till you get assigment thne assign which group has access to the program.

This is pretty easy onces you do it a few times.
