Intune Win32app tool - Create and Extract Intunewin

In this post I will show you a quick application I created that allows you to create an intune win32 application (meaning intunewin) and also extract content from an existing intunewin.

Get the tool

Click on the GitHub picture below to dget the tool.

You will find both EXE and sources.

False Trojan/Virus detection

Sometimes your antivirus may detect the EXE as a trojan or virus. In fact it's a false positive detection. Don't panic there is no virus, this is because of the generation of the EXE with PowerShell code.

As a workaround I added a folder on GitHub called Install on desktop (in case of issue with EXE).

To install the tool using this method, run the file Install_tool.ps1

This will create a shortcut Intunewin Build and Extract on your desktop and copy sources in ProgramData.

How it works ?

To create the intunewin package I used the known solution from MS, see here.

To extract the content of an intunewin, I used the solution created by Olivier Kieselbach, see here.

How it looks like ?

The tool is divided in two parts:

- Build: Part to create the intunewin package

- Extract: Part to extract content from an intunewin

How to use it ?
