Dependencies

The IntuneWinAppUtil.exe must be located in the same directory as the script.

The Source Folder should also be placed in the same directory as the script.

---

Testing and Validation

Test Case 1:

When the script is executed, .IntuneWin files will be created within the Output Folder.

The Log File can be found inside the Logs Folder.

Folder Structure:

• • Outputs

    • Igor Pavlov 7-Zip 24.07 EN

    • Google Chrome 133.35 EN

    • Adobe Reader DC 2025 EN

IntuneWin files present inside each folder, for example,
