Which Intune application type is best suited for this complex deployment scenario?
- AWin32 app (Windows)
- BLine-of-business app (Windows)
- CMicrosoft Store app (new)
- DWeb link
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Win32 app (Windows)
The 'Win32 app (Windows)' type in Intune is specifically designed for complex application deployments, allowing administrators to define custom install/uninstall commands, detection rules, and crucially, pre-installation and post-installation scripts.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Line-of-business (LOB) apps for Windows (.msi) have limited options for custom scripts and complex pre/post-installation logic.
- C. Microsoft Store apps are deployed directly from the store and do not support custom pre/post-installation scripts.
- D. Web links are for shortcuts to URLs, not for installing applications.
