If your organization uses Microsoft Intune to centrally manage endpoints, you can deploy the NordLayer application to Windows devices. This guide covers the steps required to deploy NordLayer for Windows via Intune, using the supported .msi package and recommended silent installation flags.

Step 1: Download the NordLayer .msi installer

  1. Download the latest NordLayer .msi package for Windows.
  2. Save the file to a deployment folder, e.g.,
C:\NordLayerDeployment\NordLayerSetup_vX.X.X.msi
  1. You can also store different .msi versions for testing or rollback purposes.

Step 2: Identify silent install/uninstall commands

NordLayer supports standard .msi command-line installation flags for silent deployment: (/q)

Step 3: Convert the .msi to .intunewin format

  1. You need the installer in .intunewin format for Intune Win32 deployment.
  2. Download Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool.
  3. Place the .msi file into a folder, e.g., C:\NordLayerDeployment
  4. In Command Prompt, run:
IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c C:\NordLayerDeployment -s NordLayerSetup_vX.X.X.msi -o C:\NordLayerDeployment
  1. This process generates a .intunewin package for Intune.

Step 4: Create the app deployment in Intune

  1. Log in to the Microsoft Intune admin center.
  2. Go to Apps > All apps > Add.
  3. Select App Type: Windows app (Win32)
