updating 3rd party apps
Hi Folks Just wanted to get a consensus on what others do and would recommend in my scenario around updating Win32/MSI apps in Intune. I am working with a customer who hasn't got the investme...
Thijs Lecomte thank you for this, I wasn't aware of Chocolatey but am now!
Would this be an alternative solution to MSIX? I am aware MSIX require apps to be signed with a certificate but don't see that being the case with this. Would that be correct?
Thanks
I would advise you to create a new app and remove the old app assignment.
This way you can monitor the old and future installations.
First third-party appliations, have you looked into Chocolatey (https://www.google.com/search?q=chocolatey+intune&oq=chocolatey+intune&aqs=chrome.0.0l5.2537j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8).
This is an open-source software that does automated patching

- MSIX is not the same as Chocolatey.
MSIX is the successor to MSI and doesn't provide auto updatingSeems like it does but you still have to package the new MSI into an MSIX file.

- Yes, but then you need to manually upload the new MSIX file everytime.
Chocolatey does that for you
