How to install DataSnipper with Microsoft Intune

Deploy DataSnipper across your organization using Microsoft Intune and Win32 packaging

Overview

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based endpoint management solution for deploying software across your organization. To avoid permission issues, DataSnipper must be packaged as a Win32 application rather than a Line of Business (LOB) app.

Step 1: Prepare the DataSnipper Package

Use the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool to convert the DataSnipper MSI into .intunewin format.

  1. Download and extract the Win32 Content Prep Tool, then run IntuneWinAppUtil.exe.

  2. When prompted, enter:

    • Source folder: Directory where the DataSnipper MSI is located

    • Setup file: Setup.msi (pre-v6) or v6.x.x.msi (v6 and later)

    • Output folder: Where to save the .intunewin file

  3. When asked about a catalog folder, press N.

The output file Setup.intunewin is ready for upload to Intune.

Step 2: Deploy via Microsoft Intune

  1. In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, go to Apps > All apps and click Add.

  2. Select app type Windows app (Win32) and click Select.

  3. Upload the Setup.intunewin package.

  4. Fill in the app information. In the Program section, set:

    • Install command: msiexec /I "v25.1.7.msi" /qn (replace with your version number; /qn enables silent install)

    • Install behavior: System (prevents client-side permission errors)

  5. Assign the app to your security group and complete the deployment wizard.
