installing visual studio code via intune
Hi all, Im struggling to install visual studio code exe via intune! Any suggestions on how I can do this? MSIs are easy but exes Im struggling! Thanks in advance
- Jun 24, 2021Hey AB21805,
package the x64 installer into a .intunewin file with the tool "Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool"
https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool
and use this for the install command:
VSCodeSetup-x64-1.57.1.exe /verysilent /norestart /mergetasks=!runcode /log="%temp%\VSCodeInstall.log"
and this for the uninstall command:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\unins000.exe" /verysilent /norestart
The detection method should check for file exists:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe"
best,
Oliver

I guess I have noted down some hints the last time I needed to do this...If its the runtime, why not deploying it with winget or chocolatey?
- AB21805Jun 24, 2021Bronze ContributorHi Can you recap please? or can you please send me a link to the last time you noted this. I want to know how to deploy generic exe too so I can do this for future ones 🙂
