Deploy Standalone EXE file to users desktop
Best approach is to create a .intunewin file like is the best way for MSI also. Do not use the LOB option unless really necessary. It is really easy, just download the Win32 Content Prep Tool here: https://github.com/Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool
There are several resources you can find on internet but this ones I used in the past:

Does no one else find it very odd that Microsoft, one of the biggest security providers in the world would host one of their apps on github? Why not make it available on their own website?
- Many thanks for your reply.
I'm quite versed in using the Win32 tool however this "app" is just a standalone EXE file that I would like placed on some users desktops.
It doesn't have an installer etc so I'm not sure how to place it on the desktop.
Info appreciated- A ok I see, I used this once I think this will also work for your scenario: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-intune/deploy-file-to-intune-enrolled-devices-as-win-32-app/m-p/3855954
- Looks a step in the right direction. Thanks
