Deploy Standalone EXE file to users desktop

[StuartK73]

Hi All

I need to deploy an EXE file to certain user's desktops.

It's just an EXE file that runs, I don't think it actually installs anything.

What's the best way to achieve this?

Info appreciated.

Best approach is to create a .intunewin file like is the best way for MSI also. Do not use the LOB option unless really necessary.  It is really easy, just download the Win32 Content Prep Tool here: https://github.com/Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool 

There are several resources you can find on internet but this ones I used in the past:

Many thanks for your reply.

I'm quite versed in using the Win32 tool however this "app" is just a standalone EXE file that I would like placed on some users desktops.

It doesn't have an installer etc so I'm not sure how to place it on the desktop.

Info appreciated
