Deploying via Microsoft Intune (Windows) Last updated June 2, 2026 · Desktop Connect

Microsoft Intune supports deployment of Desktop Connect to managed Windows devices via the Intune Win32 app model. This guide covers the process of converting the EXE installer and deploying it.

Critical: Do NOT rename the installer file before conversion. The filename contains your account's license token.

Prerequisites

  • Microsoft Intune admin access
  • Desktop Connect EXE installer downloaded from Prodoscore admin portal
  • Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool (IntuneWinAppUtil.exe) from Microsoft's GitHub
  • Windows device with PowerShell for running the conversion tool
  • Target devices must be Windows 8+

Step 1: Download the Win32 Content Prep Tool

1 Go to Microsoft's GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool

2 Download IntuneWinAppUtil.exe

3 Place the tool on your computer (e.g., C:\\Intune\)

Step 2: Prepare Installer Folders

1 Create two folders on your computer:

  • C:\\Intune\\Source — for the original installer
  • C:\\Intune\\Output — where the converted .intunewin file will be saved

2 Download the Desktop Connect EXE from Prodoscore admin portal and place it in the Source folder. Do NOT rename it.

Step 3: Convert EXE to .intunewin Format

1 Open PowerShell or Command Prompt

2 Navigate to the Intune folder: cd C:\\Intune

3 Run the conversion tool:

.\\IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c .\\Source -s MyZenV2.exe -o .\\Output

4 When prompted for catalog folder, press Enter (or specify your source folder)

5 The tool creates a .intunewin file in your Output folder. This is the file to upload to Intune.

Step 4: Create Win32 App in Intune

1 In Intune admin center, go to Apps > All apps > Create

2 App type: Select "Windows app (Win32)"

3 Upload the .intunewin file from your Output folder

4 Fill in app information:

  • Name: "Prodoscore Desktop Connect"
  • Publisher: "MyZen"
  • App version: (optional — check the installer version)

5 Click "Next"

Step 5: Configure Installation Commands

On the Program tab, set:

Install command:

MyZenV2.exe /exenoui /qn

Uninstall command:

wmic product where "name like '%zs%'" call uninstall /nointeractive

Click "Next"

Step 6: Set Requirements

1 On the Requirements tab, configure:

  • OS Architecture: 64-bit (or both 32 and 64-bit if needed)
  • Minimum OS: Windows 8 (or specify your minimum supported version)

2 Click "Next"

Step 7: Configure Detection Rule

The detection rule tells Intune whether the app is successfully installed.

1 Rule type: "File"

2 Path: C:\\Program Files\\zs\\zs (for stealth) OR C:\\Program Files\\Prodoscore\\MyZenV2 (for standard)

3 File or Folder: zs.exe (stealth) OR MyZenV2.exe (standard)

4 Detection method: "File or folder exists"

5 Click "Next"

Step 8: Set Assignments and Deploy

1 On Assignments, set deployment type: "Required" (installs automatically) or "Available" (users can install from company portal)

2 Select target device groups

3 Click "Create"

Step 9: Configure Antivirus Exclusions

For the installation to succeed without being blocked, you may need to add antivirus exclusions. In your antivirus/endpoint security policy, add exceptions for:

  • Path: C:\\Program Files\\Prodoscore\\MyZenV2 (standard) OR C:\\Program Files\\zs\\zs (stealth)
  • Executables: MyZenV2.exe, updater.exe (standard) OR MyZenV2s.exe, zsrvc, updater.exe (stealth)
Tip: Deploy to a pilot group first (e.g., 10-20 devices) to verify installation works before rolling out org-wide. Monitor deployment status in Devices > Intune > Windows > Device Configuration.
