## What it is
A Microsoft command-line tool that converts Windows application installation files (setup.exe or setup.msi) into the .intunewin format. The packaged apps can then be uploaded and assigned to managed devices via the Microsoft Intune console.

## Use cases
- package a win32 app for intune deployment
- convert setup.exe to intunewin format
- prepare msi installer for intune upload
- deploy desktop apps to windows devices via intune
- wrap app installers for microsoft endpoint manager
- automate intunewin packaging in a build pipeline

## When to choose
- you need to deploy classic Win32 applications through Microsoft Intune
- you want to package .exe or .msi installers into the .intunewin format
- you are an IT admin managing Windows app deployment via Intune

## When to avoid
- you deploy apps through other MDM solutions than Intune
- you only need to deploy Microsoft Store or MSI-from-URL apps that Intune handles natively
- you need a GUI-based packaging tool
