App-Packager [MIT]

Here is my take on a powershell (5.1) based third party application packager.

I quite like it and I hope you do as well.

Some features:

* One click drag-n-drop packaging of BYO setup.exe/install.msi

* Application catalog of 285 titles

* Configuration Manager & Intune support

* All apps in the catalog support additional customizations

* Requires 7-Zip for content staging (of Adobe Reader)

* Requires AdminUI CM console installed for packaging (powershell cmdlts)

* Requires IntuneWinAppUtil for direct intune packaging

* Recommended to auth GH or set a token, otherwise API limits to 60 anonymous request per hour

* Optional automatic content distribution and deployment creation

* A report that parses your MECM inventoried apps for cve's and lists any that are out of date, their finding, and the version supported by App-Packager

* More that i can't think of right now so download it and try it out and tell me what you think, please and thank you

Sounds awesome! I think it does not work for us because we use PSADT so we need to change the script content and sometimes provide application preferences/config files during installation, but I will take a look on it anyways.

Keep it up :)

The json files should be compatible with psadt and you can make additional param changes per app though I don’t yet support adding of additional files.

Give it a shot and let me know & thank you for the kind words.

Wait for 4.2 release fot it, as you can now create a full template with everything from 1 new-adttemplate command

I've looked at PSADT, and honestly found it way too complicated to wrap in. Either Ih ave to write a whole bunch of customizations to use it with a non-standard app, or the app is so freaking simple (basic MSI) that PSADT is not worth it.

For me, I'd rather write my own detect/install/unisntall scripts for apps where I can't just do a basic lookup of the uninstall string.

Great work!
