AppMap Configuration

Apps are defined in a separate file, AppMap.ps1, hosted in the GitHub Repository.

The following structure lists the available Winget apps:

"bitwarden" = @{
    DisplayName     = "Bitwarden"
    RepoPath        = "b/Bitwarden/Bitwarden"
    YamlFile        = "Bitwarden.Bitwarden.installer.yaml"
    PatternX64      = 'InstallerUrl:\s*(\S*/Bitwarden-Installer-\S+\.exe)'
    PatternARM64    = 'InstallerUrl:\s*(\S*/Bitwarden-Installer-\S+\.exe)'
    InstallerType   = "exe"
    ExeInstallArgs  = "/allusers /S"
    IsWinget        = $true
    WingetID        = "Bitwarden.Bitwarden"
}

For custom apps that are not available in Winget are structured similar like this:

"mydpd" = @{
    DisplayName     = "MyDPD Customer"
    IsWinget        = $false
    DownloadUrl     = "https://apis.my.dpd.co.uk/apps/download/public"
    InstallerType   = "exe"
    ExeInstallArgs  = "--Silent"
}

Intune Packager

The Intune-Packager.ps1 allows the ease of creation of Intunewin files for Intune upload and App deployment.

To use, download the Intune-Packager.ps1 file, right-click and Run with Powershell, you will be given the below window.

Select your needed app on the drop-down, and click Create IntuneWin Package, this will create the Intunewin package in this location "C:\IntuneApps\Output<AppName> i.e. C:\IntuneApps\Output\adobereader.

For N-Able install you will see the parameters needed to create the Customer specific installer:

Notes

• The module detects CPU architecture and installs the correct version.

• All downloads are logged to C:\Logs\TecharyGetLogs\TecharyGet.log

• Apps not in Winget can be defined with a static DownloadUrl and installed with logic from the module.

• You can run winget.exe directly (e.g. for SYSTEM context via Intune) using its resolved path in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps...

• Hosting the AppMap.ps1 file means that we can manage all app installs from a centralised location for ALL of out customers.

🧪 Tested With

• Intune deployments (System context)

• Windows 10/11 x64 + ARM64

• PowerShell 5.1 and 7+

Troubleshooting

• ❗ App not found? → Make sure it's defined in AppMap.ps1

• ❗ Duplicate key error? → Ensure there are no repeated properties in app maps (like IsWinget or WingetID)

• ❗ Winget not running in SYSTEM? → Use the direct winget.exe path resolution
