👋 Hey Product Hunt! I'm the solo builder behind InstallMage. For the last 15 years, I’ve worked in IT Operations, and there is one universal nightmare every SysAdmin shares: manually packaging legacy Windows .exe files for Microsoft Intune deployment. You have to hunt down obscure silent install arguments, fight with the local Win32 Content Prep Tool, and pray the detection rules don't fail. I finally got tired of doing it manually and decided to automate the entire pipeline in the cloud. How it works under the hood: When you drop an .exe into InstallMage, it spins up a headless Linux container running a strict 64-bit Wine architecture with Genuine .NET 4.8. Our AI detection engine analyzes the binary to identify the framework (Inno Setup, NSIS, InstallShield, etc.) and auto-injects the exact silent arguments needed. It compiles the executable into a WiX MSI. It securely wraps it into an .intunewin payload, bypassing Microsoft's notorious COM-Interop errors. What you get out of it: You get a beautifully packaged .intunewin file and an auto-generated "Cheat Sheet" giving you the exact Install Command and MSI Product Codes to copy-paste into Intune. 🎁 Product Hunt Exclusive: To celebrate the launch, I’ve set up a Free Tier so you can test the engine yourself. If you want to upgrade, use code PHLAUNCH at checkout for 20% off your first 3 months! (Note: This code expires at the end of the week!) I’d love to hear your feedback! Are there any notoriously cursed legacy apps you've struggled to deploy? Let me know, and let's see if the engine can handle them! 🚀
