Not able to Create a Win32 Application from a intunewin file which is created from .exe

[Subhajit-Dutta]

I am trying to create a win32app from a intunefile . The intunefile got created from a .exe and not from a MSI . I am getting error while deploying the win32 app .

Here is how I am creating an detection rule

Detection Rule

$DetectionRule = New-IntuneWin32AppDetectionRuleRegistry -StringComparison -KeyPath "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\xxxxxx\yyyy\xx" -ValueName "Version" -StringComparisonOperator "equal" -StringComparisonValue "0.0.0110"

Requirement Rule

$RequirementRule = New-IntuneWin32AppRequirementRule -Architecture "x64" -MinimumSupportedWindowsRelease "W10_1909"

Return Codes

$ReturnCode = @{
0 = "Success"
1707 = "Success"
3010 = "Soft reboot"
1641 = "Hard reboot"
1618 = "Retry"
}

In below step I am creating Win332 app

Add Win32 Application

$Win32App = Add-IntuneWin32App -FilePath "C:\Users\some.user\Desktop\target_Intunefile\installer.intunewin" -DisplayName "xxxxxx"
-Description "yyyyy" -Publisher "xxxxxxxxxx"
-InstallExperience "system" -RestartBehavior "suppress"
-DetectionRule $DetectionRule -RequirementRule $RequirementRule
-ReturnCode $ReturnCode `
-Verbose

Here is my error while creating a win32 app

WARNING: An error occurred while creating the Win32 application. Error message: Cannot convert value "" to type "System.Boolean". Boolean parameters accept only Boolean values and numbers, such as $True, $False, 1 or 0.

what detection do you want to use file or registry?
in file you don't need detectionValue if you use exist.
But I'm not seeing install and uninstall command on your Add-IntuneWin32App command. On an MSI if gets the info from the msi itself, on the EXE you need to give the commands, if I'm not wrong

anyone is fine , either registry or file . I have tried with both and got same error . Name : detectionValue Key : detectionValue Value :

this value is empty

your registry detection have a detectionValie, you file detection doesn't have it, cause you have exist, so it's always null. So that should be ok. but you don't have the install and uninstall commands set which are required. if you package a msi they gets populated themselfs.

@AlkHacNar Could you please help to update parameter that i need to pass for install and uninstall in $Win32App = Add-IntuneWin32App -FilePath "C:\Users\some.user\Desktop\target_Intunefile\installer.intunewin" -DisplayName "xxxxxx" -Description "yyyyy" -Publisher "xxxxxxxxxx" -InstallExperience "system" -RestartBehavior "suppress" -DetectionRule $DetectionRule -RequirementRule $RequirementRule -ReturnCode $ReturnCode

$InstallCommand = "setup.exe /S"
$UninstallCommand = "setup.exe /S /U"
$Win32App = Add-IntuneWin32App -FilePath "C:\Users\some.user\Desktop\target_Intunefile\installer.intunewin" -DisplayName "xxxxxx" -Description "yyyyy" -Publisher "xxxxxxxxxx" -InstallExperience "system" -RestartBehavior "suppress" -DetectionRule $DetectionRule -RequirementRule $RequirementRule -ReturnCode $ReturnCode -InstallCommandLine $InstallCommand -UninstallCommandLine $UninstallCommand -Verbose

something like that. you don't need to use variables there, but I like it
