Question

You package an internal accounting application as a Win32 (.intunewin) app and assign it as required to a group of Windows 11 devices. The vendor's installer returns exit code 3010 when it completes successfully but needs a restart to finish configuration. During deployment, the Microsoft Intune admin center reports the installations as failed even though the software appears to work after users manually reboot. You need Intune to correctly interpret the installer result and coordinate the restart. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

In the app's Return codes, map code 3010 to 'Soft reboot' so Intune reports success and handles the restart

Answer

Add a requirement rule that checks for a registry key created only after the restart

Answer

Change the install behavior from System to User so the restart is deferred to the signed-in user

Answer

Set the detection rule to a file version check and increase the ESP installation timeout
