Win32 app install not showing up in Start Menu/Apps List
We have a Win32 app that we're deploying as an Available app through Company Portal. The files for the app show up in C:\Program Files (x86) in the app's folder on the endpoint; however, the app does...
- Does using the MSI for installation change anything? (Add a new application to Intune and use the Line-Of-Business app. For that, select CyberCabinetInstaller.msi. )
Unless I'm missing something, these are the parameters available to me:
-? or -h or -help : Show this dialog.
-url or -componentsurl : Show the stored url and componentsurl for this setup.
-url=<location> : Sets the url source to the specified location.
-componentsurl=<location> : Sets the componentsurl to the specified location.
-homesite=<true or false> : When set to true, downloads the components from their vendors' web site, overriding the componentsurl.
All remaining command line arguments will be passed to the application install.
This setup.exe then seems to call CyberCabinetInstaller.msi to complete the installation.
Are there possibly any parameter flags there I could set for the Start Menu, since they're passed through to the application install (I presume the MSI file)?

wreinke That might be the case if everything is working and the setup doesn't add something that the MSI doesn't... Then this is a better/more straightforward solution 🙂

If one of the posts was helpful in other ways, please consider giving it a Like.- It looks like that one installs the application, it appears in Programs and Features/Apps, and has a Start Menu icon. Interesting thing to note - it installs as "User" context whereas the Win32 installed in "System" context. I couldn't change either.
I'm now wondering if the function of the setup.exe is simply to call the MSI installer (since we're not passing parameters to it)?
Installing the MSI as a LOB app may be our way to do this. Thanks.
