A PowerShell-based graphical user interface for Microsoft's IntuneWinAppUtil.exe.
This tool simplifies the packaging of Win32 apps for Microsoft Intune by providing a modern and easy-to-use WPF interface, including automation, validation, and configuration persistence.
- Built with WPF (XAML) and PowerShell — no external dependencies.
- Automatically stores tool path and reuses it on next launch (saved in a JSON file, check section "Configuration file").
- Graphical interface for all required options (
-c,-s,-o). - Auto-download of the latest version of
IntuneWinAppUtil.exefrom GitHub (optional). - It detects the use of PSAppDeployToolkit and automatically proposes executable file and final IntuneWin package name.
- Sanitizes invalid characters from the output filename.
- Windows 10 or later.
- PowerShell 5.1 or higher.
- .NET Framework (usually already installed on supported systems).
Once published, you'll be able to install via:
Install-Module IntuneWinAppUtilGUI -Scope CurrentUser
Show-IntuneWinAppUtilGui-
Clone this repository or download as ZIP and extract (e.g.,
C:\IntuneWinAppUtilGUI).. -
In PowerShell, import the module from the extracted folder:
Import-Module "C:\IntuneWinAppUtilGUI\IntuneWinAppUtilGUI.psm1"
-
Then launch the tool with:
Show-IntuneWinAppUtilGui

A configuration file
config.jsonis created in:%APPDATA%\IntuneWinAppUtilGUI\ -
It stores only the
ToolPathso it can be reused at next launch. -
This file is updated when the GUI closes.
If the path to IntuneWinAppUtil.exe is not provided:
- The GUI will automatically download and extract the latest tool from: https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool
- The tool will be stored locally under the
%APPDATA%\IntuneWinAppUtilGUI\binfolder. - You can always choose to download the latest available version by simply clicking the "Force download" button.
- Press ESC to close the window.
- Press ENTER to run the packaging when you are ready.
- A small tooltip message at the bottom of the GUI provides quick usage hints.
- Clear and Exit buttons are provided to reset inputs or close the app manually.
The graphical interface makes use of emojis (such as ✅, 🚀, 🔧, etc.) to improve visual feedback and usability.
On Windows 10 (also 8.1 and 7), some emojis might not be displayed correctly due to limited font support in the system’s default rendering engine. You may see missing characters or fallback symbols instead. On Windows 11, emoji rendering is fully supported and works as expected.
Important
This is only a cosmetic issue. The script and tool functionality are not affected in any way. Everything will continue to work normally on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. If you would like to help me fix this problem, feel free to open a Pull Request with your integration!
