Intunewin Build and Extract: a tool to build or extract Intunewin

In this post I will show you an application I created allowing you to build an Intune win32 application (Intunewin) or extract content from an existing intunewin.

What's new ?

In the Build tab, you can now drag and drop directly the sources package folder and export folder.

In the Extract tab, you can now drag and drop directly intunewin file and extracted folder.

Get the tool

Click on the GitHub picture below to get the tool.

You will find two ways to use the tool:

- EXE: an EXE to run the tool

- No EXE: use without EXE (see below how to use it)

False Trojan/Virus detection

If you use the EXE, you may have a Trojan alert, but don't worry.

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.

There are a lot of issues with PS1 converted to EXE...

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

To use this method proceed as below:

1. Run the file Install_tool.ps1 with admin rights

2. A shortcut will be created on your desktop

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
