Configure Win32 App Installation Order in Intune

Deploy and update apps
Answer Correct answer: C — Configure the App2 deployment configurations to set App1 as a dependency.

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription. You use Microsoft Intune to manage devices. You plan to deploy two apps named App1 and App2 to all Windows devices. App1 must be installed before App2. From the Intune admin center, you create and deploy two Windows app (Win32) apps. You need to ensure that App1 is installed before App2 on every device. What should you configure?

  2. a dynamic device group

Community Insight

Intune Win32 app installation order is enforced by setting dependencies on the dependent app, not the prerequisite app.

To control the installation sequence of Win32 apps in Microsoft Intune, you must configure dependencies on the dependent app. This page confirms that modifying App2's deployment configurations to include App1 as a dependency ensures App1 installs first.

Choosing App1 deployment configurations, assuming the prerequisite app controls the sequence, rather than the dependent app defining what it needs first.

To ensure that App1 is installed before App2 on every device using Microsoft Intune, you should configure App1 as a dependency for App2 via App2 deployment configurations Dependencies section. This way, Intune will automatically install App1 first, followed by App2 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-win32-add

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

Configuring the App2 deployment configurations allows you to define App1 as a dependency. When Intune installs App2, it evaluates its dependencies and will automatically install App1 first if it is not already present on the device. This dependency feature is specifically designed to manage installation order for Win32 apps.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Configuring the App1 deployment configurations (Option A) does not provide a mechanism to dictate what happens afterward or force App2 to wait; dependencies must be set on the app that has the requirement. A dynamic device group (Option B) is used for targeting assignments, not for defining application installation sequences or dependencies.

Community Comment Notes

Commenters agreed that Option C is correct, noting that you should "configure App1 as a dependency for App2 via App2 deployment configurations". This aligns with Microsoft's official documentation on adding Win32 app dependencies.

Exam Strategy

When dealing with app installation order in Intune, remember that dependencies are configured on the dependent app (the one that requires the other), not the prerequisite app. Look for the option that modifies the app being installed second.
