In this article, I aim to provide tips on how to download the intunewin file from Intune when the source files are no longer available or have been lost. The MEM portal doesn’t include a download button for this file type. Instead, I’ll guide you through a simple method to access the converted Win32 application files that were previously uploaded to the MEM portal.
How To find the Intunewin file
1st you need to set the correct permissions on the IMECache folder (located in C:\Windows) – This is a standard location that is used to install applications by Intune.
Open explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\IMECache, right click the folder and choose properties, select the security tab – select Advanced.
Select Change permissions – double click on System account.
Remove these basic permissions – Full control and Modify
Change applies to – This folder, subfolder and files
Select these basic permissions – Read & Execute, List folder contents, Read, Write.
Tick the checkbox Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permission entries from this object.
Accept the Windows Security alert 2 times.
If you now open the company portal and try to install an application that was made available for you, the application will install without issues.
Cool B-)
Thank you!
Hi! Thanks for all your guides 🙂
I wanted to share this with you, as I have tried to get the intunewim files used in old packaged apps. And I found a nifty little hack.
1. Take note of the install command and replace it with: robocopy . “C:\Extract” /S /E /R:0 /W:0 /XJ
2. Create an assignment which is in scope of the user performing the extraction (i.e. available for a group where you are the only member).
3. Create the folder C:\extract on your PC
4. Open the Company portal app and install the software.
5. The installation will report as failed, check C:\Extract for the files!
6. Revert install command and assignments.
I found this from https://medium.com/@dan.jansson/extracting-files-from-intunewin-packages-f00e5132fd1f which is great to have when working with old apps and how those were set up
Nice! Thx!
