I am trying to build out a custom App, and before I commit to fully going in with this one I wanted some advice from those who have done it successfully.
The app I need to install is nested into a folder structure with several installers attached to the main install. I have tested the commandline and it works so I just want to deploy it from PMPC instead of building intunewin every few months as it needs constant security updates.
Do I select the installer file and upload the base folder or the folder structure inside the base folder where the installer is? 1 or 2
Basic folder structure for reference.
Base folder (1 upload this to additional folder)
- Installer which calls the other installers based on parameters selected in the commandline
- several folders with separate installers for each piece (2 upload this to additional folder)
Thanks for reaching out!
When creating custom apps and uploading folders/files, you'll want to keep the same folder structure as defined by the application.
Therefore, it sounds like option 1 is the correct method here!
Upload the Primary installer file and then upload the entire base folder under "Additional Folders" so when the base installer runs it can correctly find and reference those other files.
