Deploy Splashtop Streamer via Microsoft Intune (Windows)

Avatar
Support

This article explains how to deploy the Splashtop Streamer for Windows using Microsoft Intune. Two deployment methods are supported. Choose the method that best fits your environment, then follow the steps in the corresponding section below.

Overview

Line-of-Business (LOB) App
The simpler deployment option. It deploys the MSI directly, with your Splashtop deployment code passed through command-line arguments. This method is best suited for quick and straightforward deployments.

Win32 App
Packages the installer as a .intunewin file. It requires a few additional setup steps but provides more control over the installation context, custom detection rules, and uninstall commands.

Note: If your deployment package requires predefined proxy settings, use the Win32 deployment method described in this article.

 

Line-of-Business (LOB) App Deployment (MSI)

This method deploys the Streamer MSI directly as a Line-of-Business app, using your Splashtop deployment code through command-line arguments.

Prerequisites

  • Access to the Splashtop web console (my.splashtop.com / my.splashtop.eu) to download the "Deploy by 12-digit/14-digit code MSI file" installer. Do not use the Easy Deployment package.
  • Microsoft Intune administrator access.
  • A target Azure AD / Entra ID device group for assignment.

Deployment Steps

  1. Download the MSI installer
    In my.splashtop.com / my.splashtop.eu, go to Management > Deployment, create or select an existing deployment package, then click Deploy.

  2. Select the correct download option
    Under Option 2: Download Installer, open the dropdown list. In the Deploy by 12-digit/14-digit Code section, select Windows (MSI), then click Download.

    Do NOT use the Easy Deployment package, as it is not compatible with Intune Line-of-Business (LOB) app deployment.

  3. Add a Line-of-business app in Microsoft Intune
    In Intune, go to Apps > Windows > Create, then add a Line-of-business app.

  5. Configure app settings
    Complete the required fields and make sure the following settings are configured:
    1. Publisher: Splashtop Inc.
    2. Ignore app version: Yes

    3. Command-line arguments:

      /norestart /qn USERINFO="dcode=your_code,hidewindow=1,confirm_d=0"

    4. Replace your_code with the 12-digit/14-digit deployment code associated with the deployment package you selected or created in the Splashtop web console. This code enrolls the Streamer in your Splashtop team.

  6. Assign the app
    Assign the Splashtop Streamer app to the users or groups you want to deploy it to. Then review the configuration and select Create.

Validation Checklist

  • ✓  The 12-digit/14-digit deployment version of the MSI was used (not the Easy Deployment package).
  • ✓  The command-line arguments contain your correct deployment code.
  • ✓  The app is assigned to the intended users or groups.
  • ✓  Devices appear in the Splashtop web console after the installation completes.
Win32 App Deployment (.intunewin)

This method packages the Streamer deployment MSI as a .intunewin file, giving you full control over install context, uninstall behaviour, and detection rules from within Intune.

Prerequisites

  • Access to the Splashtop web console (my.splashtop.com / my.splashtop.eu) to download the "Easy Deployment" MSI installer associated with your deployment package.
  • Microsoft Intune administrator access.
  • Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool (IntuneWinAppUtil.exe).
  • A target Azure AD / Entra ID device group for assignment.

Deployment Steps

  1. Download the installer
    In the Splashtop web console, go to Management > Deployment. Create a new deployment package or select an existing one, then click Deploy.

    Snag_697e0561.png

    Under Option 2: Download Installer, select Windows (MSI) (Easy Deployment) from the dropdown list, then click Download.

    The downloaded file name will look similar to:

     

    Splashtop_Streamer_Windows_DEPLOY_INSTALLER_v3.X.X.X_your-deployment-code.msi

  2. Create a clean packaging folder
    Create a new folder that contains only:

    • IntuneWinAppUtil.exe
    • The Splashtop Streamer Easy Deployment MSI file

    It is recommended to use a dedicated folder rather than a general folder such as Downloads, as additional files in the source folder may be included in the .intunewin package.

  3. Package the installer as a .intunewin file
    Open PowerShell in the packaging folder and run the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool. Replace the filename in the example below with the actual filename of the Streamer MSI in the folder:

    .\IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c . -s Splashtop_Streamer_Windows_DEPLOY_INSTALLER_v3.x.x.x_xxxx.msi -o .

    After the tool completes, confirm that the .intunewin file was created successfully.

  4. Create the Win32 app in Microsoft Intune
    In the Microsoft Intune admin center, go to Apps > Windows > Create, then select Windows app (Win32).

  5. Select the app package file
    Upload the .intunewin file generated in the previous steps and continue through the app creation wizard.

  6. Replace the install command
    Use the following install command:

    msiexec /i "your-installer-name.msi" /qn /norestart USERINFO="hidewindow=1,confirm_d=0"

    Replace your-installer-name.msi with the actual filename of the MSI packaged inside your .intunewin file.

    For example:

    msiexec /i "Splashtop_Streamer_Windows_DEPLOY_INSTALLER_v3.X.X.X_xxxx.msi" /qn /norestart USERINFO="hidewindow=1,confirm_d=0"

    Note: The Easy Deployment MSI is generated for the selected Splashtop deployment package, so the deployment code is already embedded and does not need to be included in the Intune installation command in this case.

  7. Verify the uninstall command
    Use the following silent uninstall command:

    MsiExec.exe /qn /X{B7C5EA94-B96A-41F5-BE95-25D78B486678}

  8. Configure the detection rule
    Configure a manual detection rule based on the Splashtop Streamer registry path below:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Splashtop Inc.\Splashtop Remote Server
    Rules formatManually configure detection rules
    Rule typeRegistry
    Key pathHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Splashtop Inc.\Splashtop Remote Server
    Value nameLeave empty
    Detection methodKey exists

  9. Assign the app to target devices
    Assign the Splashtop Streamer app to the users or groups you want to deploy it to. Then review the configuration and select Create.

Validation Checklist

  • ✓  The Easy Deployment MSI was used instead of the 12-digit/14-digit deployment MSI.
  • ✓  The .intunewin package was created from a clean source folder.
  • ✓  The install command references the correct MSI filename.
  • ✓  The app is assigned to the intended users or groups.
  • ✓  Devices appear in the Splashtop web console after the installation completes.
