This document provides a detailed guide on how to install the Viio Desktop Agent using Microsoft Intune, including creating a .intunewin package from an .msi installer.
Preparing the .MSI Installer
Before deploying with Intune, ensure you have the .msi installer for the Viio Desktop Agent readily available.
Creating the .intunewin Package
To deploy Win32 applications through Intune, you need to convert the .msi installer into a .intunewin package. Use the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool for this purpose.
Download the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool: You can download the tool from the Microsoft GitHub repository. Link to GitHub repository releases https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool/releases
Extract the ZIP to a folder (e.g., C:\IntuneWinTool)
Run the Tool:
Open Command Prompt and navigate to the tool folder:
cd C:\IntuneWinTool
Then run the following command (modify paths if needed):
./IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c D:\viio\AgentInstaller -s D:\viio\AgentInstaller\Viio_Desktop_Agent_Installer_1.4.3.msi -o D:\viio\AgentInstaller\IntunePackage
Parameters:
-c: Folder containing the installer.
-s: Path to the setup file (the .msi).
-o: Output folder where the .intunewin package will be saved.
The tool will generate a .intunewin file in the specified output folder. This file will be used for Intune deployment.
Adding the Win32 App to Intune
