IntuneWin Utility

Turn installers into Intune-ready packages EXE / MSI to .intunewin Built on Microsoft's packaging utility

IntuneWin Utility

Create upload-ready Win32 packages through a focused GUI designed for IT admins who build and ship apps frequently. IntuneWin Utility streamlines Microsoft's IntuneWinAppUtil.exe with smart detection, packaging validation, live progress feedback, and clear output details, so you can move from source folder to finished `.intunewin` with less effort and more confidence.

Why packaging teams use it

IntuneWin Utility replaces repetitive command-line packaging with a workflow that is easier to run, review, and repeat. It helps IT teams build packages faster while keeping full visibility over the source, validation steps, and final output.

  • Convert EXE and MSI installers into valid `.intunewin` packages using Microsoft's official packaging engine.
  • Reduce manual setup by discovering installer files directly from the selected source folder.
  • Keep the interface responsive while packaging runs in the background.
  • Follow every stage through live status updates in the Message Center.

What it delivers

Official packaging engine

Uses Microsoft's IntuneWinAppUtil.exe to generate Intune-compatible Win32 packages.

Smart installer detection

Scans the source folder for EXE and MSI files, then selects a usable installer automatically.

Clear output details

Shows the generated package name and file size so the result is easy to confirm before upload.

Built-in validation

Checks source paths, output paths, supported file types, and missing dependencies before execution starts.

Real-time logging

Displays success, warning, and error messages live while packaging is in progress.

Repeatable workflow

Keeps the experience clean, responsive, and practical for ongoing packaging work.

Validation and guardrails

The tool helps stop failed packaging runs before they begin and keeps a useful record of what happened after the package is created.

  • Requires the source folder to exist and the installer to be inside that folder.
  • Accepts only .exe or .msi installers for packaging.
  • Creates the output folder automatically if it does not already exist.
  • Detects missing IntuneWinAppUtil.exe before packaging begins.
  • Prevents multiple packaging jobs from running at the same time.

Default working structure

Created automatically on first run so packaging files and logs stay organized.

C:\IntuneWinUtility ├── Source ├── Output └── IntuneWinUtility-YYYYMMDD.log

Logging and output

Live messages make it easier to confirm detection, monitor packaging, and verify the final result.

Log folder: C:\IntuneWinUtility\ Example output: AppName.intunewin (45.3 MB)

Packaging workflow

1
Launch the tool. Run the EXE directly with no PowerShell console required.
2
Select the source folder. Point the tool to the folder that contains the installer files.
3
Review detection. Let the tool auto-detect EXE or MSI and confirm the selected installer.
4
Choose the output target. Save the package next to the source or send it to a custom output folder.
5
Create the package. Build the `.intunewin` file and monitor progress in the Message Center.
6
Use it in Intune. Take the generated package into your Win32 app deployment workflow.

Made for repeatable packaging

IntuneWin Utility is built for teams that package often and need a process they can trust. It reduces avoidable mistakes, shortens repetitive steps, and makes the final output easier to review before deployment.

The project is provided as-is. Test packaging workflows in a staging environment before moving to production.
