Hi all,
I’m trying to deploy MIT App Inventor 2 Setup via Microsoft Intune and need help with the correct installation instructions—especially for a silent install that works reliably. Has anyone managed to do this successfully or have a working method they can share?
Thanks in advance!
See the Schools section of
for networking setup details.
Yours is the first Microsoft Intune request on this board.
When you get it working, tell us what you discovered.
According to MIT's advice regarding a silent install in schools, you probably cannot use Intune.
Emulator - Silent Install
The emulator must be installed on each machine individually. If you are setting up a lab of several Windows computers, this installation can be streamlined by using “silent mode,” in which you create a configuration file and then duplicate that file on every machine, with no further need for console interaction.
Here are the flags to use with the setup package:
/S - (case sensitive) for silent mode (default will be all users), and you will need admin permissions
/user=all or /user=current (again, you will need admin permissions for all users)
/update - update installation
/skiplicense - skip license
For example, use the following command by typing it at the terminal or by including it in a script:
MIT_App_Inventor_Tools_2.3.0_win_setup [/S] [/user=all or /user=current]
or
sudo MIT_App_Inventor_Tools_2.3.0_win_setup [/S] [/user=all or /user=current]
if you need admin permissions.

MIT has been asked to comment regarding Intune.
Thank you so much for your response.
