Deployment platforms

Platform	Vendor	Best for	Package format
Microsoft Intune	Microsoft	Cloud-managed Windows/macOS	.intunewin, MSI, .pkg
SCCM / MECM	Microsoft	On-prem Windows fleets	MSI, EXE, scripts
Group Policy (GPO)	Microsoft	AD-joined, MSI only	MSI
MDT	Microsoft	OS imaging + apps	EXE, MSI
Jamf Pro	Jamf	macOS / iOS	.pkg, .dmg
PDQ Deploy	PDQ	SMB Windows, fast setup	EXE, MSI
Chocolatey / Winget	Community / Microsoft	Package-manager workflow	.nupkg / manifests

The deployment workflow

1. Source the official offline installer (catalog).
2. Identify the installer framework (cheatsheet).
3. Wrap / repackage if needed (.intunewin for Intune, .nupkg for Choco).
4. Define a detection rule (file version, registry key, MSI product code).
5. Test in a pilot ring before broad rollout.
6. Deploy and monitor exit codes (0 / 3010 = success).

Silent install switches

The full per-app reference lives in the Silent Install Cheatsheet. Quick reference:

:: MSI
msiexec /i "App.msi" /qn /norestart REBOOT=ReallySuppress

:: NSIS
"App-Setup.exe" /S

:: Inno Setup
"App-Setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART

Detection methods

# By MSI product code
Get-WmiObject Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.IdentifyingNumber -eq '{GUID}' }

# By file version (faster, preferred)
(Get-Item "C:\Program Files\App\app.exe").VersionInfo.ProductVersion

# By registry uninstall key
Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*' |
  Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object DisplayName -like 'App*'

Offline / air-gapped deployment

For networks with no internet:

1. Download offline installers + all dependencies on a connected machine.
2. Stage them on an internal distribution point / file share.
3. Point SCCM/MDT/Intune Connector at the internal source.
4. For package managers, host an internal Chocolatey/NuGet feed or a winget private repo.

Offline installers (not web stubs) are essential here — see why.
