Using winget as win32 app in User context (without admin permission) #3

Closed arafelp closed 2 months ago

arafelp commented 2 months ago

I'm sorry, I just started using Intune + winget, I didn't fully understand how to deploy the application in the user context (without admin rights) such as GIMP. The question is which script to use to create the .intunewin file, and if I understood correctly, in the Install field you need to use something like cmd /c ""%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\winget.exe" install --exact --id GIMP. GIMP --silent --source winget --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements"

For all examples in this repo using WinGet to install an application, the .intunewin file is a dummy file with no content. Found here:

The install command for the Intune Win32 app calls WinGet on the computer/client directly, and not something inside the .intunewin file.

@arafelp: I added an untested example for GIMP in user context:

To be sure WinGet tries to install GIMP in user context I'd change your command (add --scope user):

and I didn't quite understand what the mention of this script is for?https://github.com/o-l-a-v/winget-intune-win32/blob/main/User%20context%20-%20Install/App%20-%20GIMP/WinGet%20-%20GIMP%20-%20Install%20parameters.md#script---app-installer--winget-minimum-version

A new enough version of WinGet must be present for the install command to work.

arafelp commented 2 months ago

simply, if I understand correctly, these actions assume that winget is already installed/updated on the computer?

Please excuse me, but what is the way to pre-install\update winget on curnt user, using the Requirements from the link you provided?

Yes.

I haven't solved that part yet. Microsoft Store will update apps eventually, and when App Installer ( https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh4nns1?hl=en-us&gl=us ) eventuallly are updated, a recent enough version of WinGet will be present.

I started some work in progress stuff here to manually update App Installer and WinGet, but never went further than that:

Maybe this project can be used:

But as I state in the root README.md:
