Publishing to Microsoft Intune

The program integrates with Microsoft Intune, allowing you to publish generated packages for distribution across remote machines. Packages to be published are displayed in the Packages view, which you can access by clicking the corresponding button on the vertical navigator on the left side of the main screen. It is possible to publish packages in the MSI, MSIX, and IntuneWin format. To publish a package, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Select a package to publish
Navigate to the Packages view and select the package you wish to publish. You can start the publishing process by clicking the Publish to Intune button on the right side of the screen. Alternatively, you can use the Publish to Intune action available from the context menu or the Ribbon.

Step 2. Choose an Intune account
The publishing wizard prompts you to select an Intune account. If no account has been specified, you can enter a new one or choose a previously saved account. The account must have the appropriate permissions - specifically, the Intune Administrator or Application Administrator role - to publish packages. The selected package will be uploaded to the Intune environment of the tenant associated with the specified account, and you will later be able to assign it to devices through the Microsoft Intune interface. After selecting the account, proceed to the next step.

Step 3. Specify application information
In this step, you need to provide application metadata required to create an Intune application. The fields shown depend on the type of package being published. Since we are publishing an MSI package in this example, most of the required fields will be filled in automatically using data from the package. You can modify these values if necessary and add any additional properties.

Step 4. Upload the package and create the Intune application
When you click the Next button in the wizard, the program begins uploading the package to Microsoft Intune. After the upload completes, you’ll see a confirmation message. You can then open the Intune web interface in your browser to assign the application to users and devices and distribute it remotely.

Re-Publishing Packages

If a package has already been published, it can be published again. Depending on the package type, you may have different publishing options. These include creating a new application or replacing an existing one with updated binaries. For IntuneWin packages, an additional option to supersede an existing application is available. More information about these options is available in the Packages Publishing to Intune chapter.
