Deploying Everything through Microsoft Intune

[o75steve]

Hi,
First of all, I've been using Everything for about 15 years now, and it's an app that has helped improve productivity a lot, so kudos to the developer.
I've been making some publicity for it within our company, and at the moment, we are considering adding it to the Microsoft Intune software management portal, for automatized installation on laptops. Do you know if the app is suitable for this ? Is this also possible for the latest version (1.5) ?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Sure, "package" the setup.exe and use the command-line options for the installation itself

1.4 command-line options
1.5 command-line options


For 1.5 you can use Everything Group Policies (GPOs) to further configure the clients.

Something to consider in your case is the Everything Server. This is basically a central Server that does the indexing and passes the changes to the cleints, to be added to their local indexes.
During the alpha phase and for personal use Everything Server is free to use (final price t.b.d.)

Hi,

may I know if there is a basic 'Install command' for installation at Intune (use all default options is ok)
I have tried "filename.exe" but failed to install it.

and I tried to make a test to run it on my PC at CMD (Not Intune)
"filename.exe -install-language 2057", but it still pops up for select language.
is there any command that can be installed in the background?

Thanks in advance.

No, not yet.
msi Installers will be created during beta.

For now, please check Install options and deployment

Hi void,

Thanks your reply.
So it doesn't support install by Intune now?
I have tried many command but it still fail.

Not at the moment.

I have tried many command but it still fail.

What commands have you tried?
What happens?

Please make sure you are calling Everything-Setup.exe
Please make sure you are calling Everything-Setup.exe with -install-options
See Install options and deployment for more details.

Hi
I have renamed the exe file to "setup.exe" and then tried below commands.
The error is 0x87D30067 - Error unzipping downloaded content
I have tried re-pack the installer but still the same. Just the exe one file.

tried 3 time as below
setup.exe -install-options "-install-language 2057"
setup.exe -install-options "-install-service -app-data -install-current-user-desktop-shortcut -install-language 2057"
setup.exe -install "C:\Program Files\Everything" -install-options "-install-service -app-data -install-current-user-desktop-shortcut -install-language 2057"

[void]

0x87D30067 - Error unzipping downloaded content

This is not an Everything Setup error message.
Please make sure you are using an Everything 1.4 installer or an Everything 1.5 installer.

Yes, I am using Everything-1.4.1.1024.x64-Setup.exe
just renamed it to Setup.exe
I have tried to install with command but it looks like not working.
May I confirm if my install command is correct?

(Well, that was sure confusing. And don't hold me to it.)

something like this works:

Code: Select all

setup  /S  -install-options "-no-app-data"  -install  /D=c:\out\EEE

/S silent
> then, -install-options - in quotes, space separated
so, don't use %appdata% (to store your "profile", per my example)
> then, install location - NO quotes, & the /D specifies the directory where you want to install to
so, c:\out\EEE

[therube]

setup.exe -install "C:\Program Files\Everything" -install-options "-install-service -app-data -install-current-user-desktop-shortcut -install-language 2057"

So I'm guessing, something like:

setup.exe -install-options "-install-service -app-data -install-current-user-desktop-shortcut -install-language 2057" -install /D=C:\Program Files\Everything

You need to make sure that all your -install-options are applicable to the install itself & are not part of the User install options.

viewtopic.php?t=5673 might need a rewrite as some parts seem contradictory, or at least not clear?

Installer
...
c:\temp\Everything.exe -install <install-location> -install-options "<install options>"

vs.

S - Silent install.
-install-options "<install options>" - Specify the install options. Must be in quotes (optional).
/D=<location> - Install location (this must be specified last with no quotes - optional)

Everything-Setup.exe /S -install-options "<install options>" /D=<install location>

Got to figure that has to do with "Intune".

Verify the hash of your .exe download.
Attempt your install outside of Intune.
Once that is working correctly, try the same procedure within (or whatever is, with) Intune.
If you still get the 0x87D... then try to figure out why Intune is breaking the install.

Or try with the .ZIP (& language packs if you need them) instead of the Everything...-Setup.exe.



PS: If you're using CrowdStrike - don't, as it may break the world .

Thanks all

I think the issue should be related to the setup not running in silent mode.
even when I run at cmd with the command [setup.exe /s] it still pops up.
Tried x32 & x64, also pop up the first screen to select language.

Please try with an uppercase /S

NSIS: Which command line parameters can be used to configure installers?

[jacky Atlas]

Thanks void. Tried it works at CMD, but still not working at Intune.
I will try to contact MS if they have any ideas, thanks.

I made a Win32-app (and uploaded an "intunewin"-file, containing only the setup.exe file) which installs using this command:

Code: Select all

Everything-1.4.1.1026.x64.Lite-Setup.exe /S -install-options "-app-data -uninstall-run-on-system-startup -uninstall-service -install-folder-context-menu -uninstall-desktop-shortcut -choose-volumes" /D=C:\Program Files\Everything

I install all software once per machine (so: System instead of User), hence the "-app-data" option.

Have not yet tried the uninstall command:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -uninstall
