Functions that are not cross platform and won't run inside of Linux/Unix like OS

[aollivierre]

• New-IntuneWin32AppPackage.ps1 calls IntuneWinAppUtil.exe
• Invoke-AzureCopyUtility.ps1 calls AzCopy.exe
• New-IntuneWin32AppBody.ps1 calls msiexec.exe
• etc..

all these functions and other functions that wraps around Win binaries will fail in Linux based OS and hence making the entire module non-usable in a cross-platform fashion and therefore rendering the module useless in DevOPS environments such as docker containers running Linux/Unix-like images.

Now for the first function the replacement for IntuneWinAppUtil.exe is https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/SvRooij.ContentPrep.Cmdlet/0.1.4 which provides a native PS way to package a source folder as *.Intunewin file no issues you simply call it this way

function Create-IntuneWinPackage {
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [pscustomobject]$Prg,

        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [string]$Prg_Path,

        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [string]$destinationPath
    )
    try {
        Write-EnhancedLog -Message "Creating .intunewin package..." -Level "INFO" -ForegroundColor ([ConsoleColor]::Cyan)

        $setupFile = "install.ps1"
        # $Win32AppPackage = New-IntuneWin32AppPackage -SourceFolder $Prg_Path -SetupFile $setupFile -OutputFolder $destinationPath -Verbose -Force:$true

        # using New-IntuneWinPackage instead of New-IntuneWin32AppPackage because it creates a .intunewin file in a cross-platform way both on Windows and Linux
        New-IntuneWinPackage -SourcePath $Prg_Path -DestinationPath $destinationPath -SetupFile $setupFile -Verbose
        # Write-Host "Package creation completed successfully." -ForegroundColor Green
        Write-EnhancedLog -Message "Package creation completed successfully." -Level "INFO" -ForegroundColor ([ConsoleColor]::Green)

        $IntuneWinFile = Join-Path -Path $destinationPath -ChildPath "install.intunewin"

        # $IntuneWinFile = $Win32AppPackage.Path
        Write-EnhancedLog -Message "IntuneWinFile path set: $IntuneWinFile" -Level "INFO" -ForegroundColor ([ConsoleColor]::Green)
        return $IntuneWinFile
    }
    catch {
        Write-EnhancedLog -Message "Error creating .intunewin package: $_" -Level "ERROR" -ForegroundColor ([ConsoleColor]::Red)
        Write-Host "Error creating .intunewin package: $_" -ForegroundColor Red
        exit
    }
}

The other two

• Invoke-AzureCopyUtility.ps1 calls AzCopy.exe (perhaps PowerShell AZ modules can replace that)
• New-IntuneWin32AppBody.ps1 calls msiexec.exe I am not sure if there is a PS native alternative to them.

I'll try to look and see but I wanted you to be aware of this
