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. )
That could be a possibility - creating a shortcut to the All Users Start Menu.
I'm installing something called "ATC CyberCabinet." It's a Win32 app.
The install command I'm using is: setup.exe /quiet

If you don't have any other documentation with parameters enabling shortcut creation for everyone, I suggest saving the correct shortcut in the folder in which you create the Win32 package. Also, save an install.cmd there with the following contents:
copy "ATC CyberCabinet.lnk" "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
setup.exe /quiet
copy "ATC CyberCabinet.lnk" "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
setup.exe /quiet
- 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)?- Does using the MSI for installation change anything?

- 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.
