Installing Win32 Apps
Hi Community, Can you confirm how I would install a Win32 app for a .exe file. I'm struggling with one part in particular which is the install and uninstall commands - which I can't find many...
- I searched for silent install and uninstall command lines for that software but couldn't find any. I suggest contacting support and asking them how to silently install and uninstall the software to deploy it using Intune Win32. Alternatively, a packager could wrap this into an MSI, which you could add to Intune.
There are a lot of programs out there which could have an install.cmd containing things like (This is a Dutch Adobe Acrobat installer):
Install.cmd
AcroRdrDC1900820071_nl_NL.exe /sAll /rs /rps /msi /norestart /quiet EULA_ACCEPT=YES
Uninstall.cmd
MsiExec.exe /X{AC76BA86-7AD7-1043-7B44-AC0F074E4100} /quiet
It just all depends... I would recommend https://silentinstallhq.com/, which posts articles like https://silentinstallhq.com/notepad-8-5-4-silent-install-how-to-guide/ containing details about install and uninstall parameters.
