Question

Contoso packages a Win32 line-of-business application as an .intunewin file and deploys it to a group of Windows 11 devices as Required. The application must install for all users on each device and must complete even if no user is currently signed in. During testing you notice the installation writes a per-user registry key under HKCU that the vendor requires for licensing. Which install behavior configuration should you choose for the Win32 app in Intune to satisfy both requirements?

Accepted Answer

Set the install behavior to System and use the Win32 app's ability to run the installer per-device while the vendor licensing key is written by an active setup mechanism at first user logon

Answer

Set the install behavior to System and add a detection rule pointing to the HKCU licensing key

Answer

Set the install behavior to User so the HKCU key is written correctly for the signed-in user

Answer

Deploy the app as Available instead of Required so users trigger the install in their own context
