## What it is
PSAppDeployToolkit is an open-source PowerShell framework that simplifies and standardizes Windows software deployment at scale. It wraps vendor installers (MSI/EXE) with a battle-tested workflow, an extensive function library, a customizable branded user interface, and full-fidelity logging, integrating with tools like Intune, ConfigMgr, Tanium, and BigFix.

## Use cases
- deploy applications to Windows endpoints with Intune
- wrap an MSI or EXE installer with a standardized deployment script
- show branded install dialogs with deferrals and countdown timers to end users
- uninstall or repair applications across a fleet of managed Windows machines
- run installers as the logged-on user from SYSTEM context
- standardize application packaging best practices across a packaging team

## When to choose
- you manage Windows software deployment via Intune, ConfigMgr/SCCM, Tanium, BigFix, or Workspace ONE
- you need a consistent, corporate-branded end-user experience across all deployments
- you want a proven, widely adopted framework with extensive documentation and community support

## When to avoid
- you deploy to non-Windows platforms (macOS, Linux)
- you need a fully automated deployment with no scripting or PowerShell knowledge
- you require vendor-backed enterprise support without a third-party steward
