Deploy MSI / LOB App as Admin

[StuartK73]

Hi All

Any ideas on how to deploy an MSI  via Intune that requires Admin rights to install on systems where the users are Standard Users?

Info appreciated

@StuartK73 Intune deployed Win32 apps are installed using the SYSTEM account which should be privileged enough to install.  If you are getting an MSI error, you could share it here?

@StuartK73 Indeed using Win32 app that should be possible.
More on that can be found here https://github.com/Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool

Hey @StuartK73,

actually this is the standard scenario for most enterprises. Deploy your MSI LOB app as an Win32 app in Intune:

You need to wrap it as an .intunewin (https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool) and then deploy it with the setting Install behavior: System

You have to use the silent install parameters for the installer. This depends on the individual setup you are using, setup.exe have often individual ones like /silent /quiet etc. msi should be more standardized and the content prep tool should you support there and generate command lines like: msiexec /i "Notepad++7.6.6.msi" /q for silent install.

The MS documentation is here:
