Intune Steps

Preparation

If you are transitioning your deployment from an Intune Configuration profile or PowerShell Script to the MSI installer, please consider the following. You should edit the Configuration profile or script configuration and un-assign any groups. This will prevent conflicts between the two deployment methods. Ultimately you may delete the configuration profile and/or script configuration once MSI deployment is successful.

Create the win32 app (.intunewin)

These instructions assume you have experience wrapping installers with the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool and have the tool on your device.

  1. Create a folder named Win-ConcealBrowse
