Deploy Greenshot via Intune | Win32 App Packaging

Published 17 March 2026 · 5 min read

Greenshot is a popular free screenshot tool used across many business environments. It uses an Inno Setup EXE installer, which supports silent deployment with the /VERYSILENT switch. The main things to get right are the correct silent switches and suppressing the desktop shortcut.

Install and uninstall commands

Greenshot uses Inno Setup. The silent switches are different to NSIS:

💡
Test your detection rule first
Before deploying to users, install the app manually on a test device and verify the detection rule matches. Run the detection script or check the file path exists before assigning to a group.

Pre-configuring Greenshot settings

Greenshot stores its configuration in an INI file at %APPDATA%\Greenshot\Greenshot.ini. You can pre-deploy a default config by including a Greenshot.ini file in your package and copying it to the correct location via a wrapper script:

# install.ps1 - install Greenshot and deploy default config
Start-Process "Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.3.4.6-RELEASE.exe" -ArgumentList "/SP- /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES" -Wait

# Create config directory for all users
$configPath = "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Greenshot"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $configPath
Copy-Item "$PSScriptRoot\Greenshot.ini" -Destination $configPath -Force

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I deploy Greenshot silently via Intune?

Use: Greenshot-INSTALLER-x.x.x.x-RELEASE.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES. These are Inno Setup switches. /VERYSILENT suppresses all UI and /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES prevents any popup dialogs.

Q: Does Greenshot have an MSI installer?

No. Greenshot only provides an Inno Setup EXE installer. There is no official MSI. Use the EXE with Inno Setup silent switches and wrap it with IntuneWinAppUtil as normal.

Q: How do I detect Greenshot in Intune?

Use a file detection rule: check for Greenshot.exe in C:\Program Files\Greenshot. This path is consistent across versions.

Q: How do I suppress the Greenshot desktop shortcut during Intune deployment?

Add /TASKS="!desktopicon" to the install command to prevent the desktop shortcut being created during silent installation.
