Intune deployment instructions

This guide is provided as a basis for deploying enterprise subscriptions of Sketchbook Pro via Intune.

Sample scripts are available to help with the installation, uninstallation, and detection of the application. Additionally, these scripts show how to license and accept the EULA post installation so that end users are not responsible for these steps.

First, download the Sketchbook Pro installer from the license management portal. We use LicenseSpring for license management. The purchaser will have received an email from LicenseSpring when their purchase was completed, with instructions on how to access the portal. If you need help locating these login instructions, please contact sales@sketchbook.com for assistance.

Obtain the version of Sketchbook Pro that you would like to install. This installer is in the msixbundle format and should have a name similar to: SketchbookProInstaller_9.3.24.7_x64.msixbundle

Create folders for Intune package creation

You will need Input and Output folders. So as an example create the following folders:

C:\Intune

C:\Intune\Input

C:\Intune\Output

Download the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool

You will need to use the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool to prepare the installer for deployment. Go to the following link to download the Source code (.zip) file, and then place it in the Intune folder: https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool 

Make sure to download the latest release.

Once you have downloaded the zip, extract its contents and copy the IntuneWinAppUtil.exe file into the Intune directory you created earlier. You should now have a directory structure like the following:

Copy the msixbundle, install.ps1, uninstall.ps1, and detect.ps1 files into the Input folder. You should now have:

Note: The sample install, uninstall, and detect scripts are set up to handle different version numbers in the msixbundle name. So do not worry about the version number in our example being different from the version currently available to you.
