Trying to deploy Zoom as win32 app instead of Line of Business

Hi everyone, 

 

I am trying to deploy Zoom through intune as a Win32 app instead of Line of Business because I've heard that is the better choice. I'm running into an issue where I do not know what to put for the install/uninstall commands as Zoom does not come with an uninstaller. Has anyone else had this issue? 

 

Thanks, 

Gavin

  • Hi gavinpaz,

    Deploying Zoom as a Win32 app in Intune indeed provides greater flexibility compared to the Line-Of-Business method.

    Here are the steps you can follow:

    1. Preparation: Gather the Win32 Content Prep Tool, the latest Zoom Client version, and the Zoom plugin for Microsoft Outlook.

    2. Installation and Uninstallation Commands: Create two new files in the folder, install.cmd and uninstall.cmd. The Zoom MSI offers various installation parameters for customization.

     

    msiexec /i "ZoomInstallerFull.msi" /qn /norestart /log output.log ZOOMAUTOUPDATE="false"

     

    For uninstall.cmd, utilize the following command:

     

    msiexec /x {51AFD52B-0614-4100-91E0-204AC1EF0A3B} /qn /norestart /log output.log

     

    Find the GUID for the application in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{51AFD52B-0614-4100-91E0-204AC1EF0A3B}.

    • Packaging:
      Launch the Win32 Packaging tool, and input the required parameters.
    • Deployment:
      To deploy with Intune, add a new application, choose Windows app (Win32). On the App information page, provide Name, Publisher, Version, etc. On the program page, use install.cmd for installation and uninstall.cmd for uninstallation.
