Microsoft has official documentation explaining how to package, deploy, configure, and monitor software through Intune. For deploying HyDraw CAD 2026
Microsoft Intune — Win32 App Management
This is the best starting point. It explains:
Deploying traditional Windows desktop applications.
Packaging installers for Intune.
Configuring silent installation commands.
Setting application detection rules.
Configuring dependencies and requirements.
Assigning applications to users or devices.
Monitoring installation status.
It also explains that Intune does not support interactive application installations, so applications must install silently. (Microsoft Learn)
Prepare Win32 App Content for Upload
This guide explains how to convert an existing Windows installer into an .intunewin package using Microsoft's Win32 Content Prep Tool.
For HyDraw CAD 2026, the process would be:
Place the HyDraw installation files in a source folder.
Run Microsoft's packaging tool.
Generate the .intunewin file.
Upload the package to Intune.
This guide also covers the packaging tool's command-line parameters. (Microsoft Learn)
Add and Assign Win32 Apps to Microsoft Intune
This guide walks through the configuration process in the Intune admin center.
It explains how to configure:
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Install command | Specifies how to install HyDraw |
| Uninstall command | Specifies how to remove HyDraw |
| Install behavior | Determines whether installation runs in the system or user context |
| Requirements | Defines which devices can receive the application |
| Detection rules | Determines whether HyDraw is installed |
| Dependencies | Specifies prerequisites |
| Assignments | Defines which users or devices receive HyDraw |
This is particularly relevant for deploying HyDraw CAD 2026 in SYSTEM context. (Microsoft Learn)
Understanding Win32 Application Deployment Through Intune
This guide explains the deployment process, how the application reaches the Windows device, and how Intune processes the installation.
It is useful when troubleshooting installation failures or understanding what happens on the client computer. (Microsoft Learn)
