IntuneWinAppUtil extremely slow, completes, file seems corrupt
techboyG opened this issue · 4 comments
I have been experiencing a weird issue with IntuneWinAppUtil. I have been using this for a year+ now with no problems at all. Recently, within the last few months, it's been force closing before the .intunewin package is created. It seems I've resolved that issue (not sure how) and now it's just acting all around weird.
When wrapping any .msi file it takes an EXTREMELY long time, and when I say a long time it can run for up to 10-20minutes before completing. The process completes and the .intunewin package is generated, but it seems corrupt. I say this because, when uploading to my Intune Tenant the upload times out after a few hours, yes I said a few hours :). The app in Intune says "your app is not ready" and the upload will completely stop. In turn, another system admin on our team can wrap the .msi and upload it to Intune within 1-3 minutes. (tested this as I wrote this up this morning.)
I've ensured all perquisites have been met
I've looked for GPO(s) that could potentially interfere.
I do not see anything in event viewer that hints at the problem.
This happens on v1.6, v1.7, v1.8 and an even older version I got last year.
You're not the only one experiencing this issue. My Systems Administrator ran into this same issue the other day. Thanks.....

At least I know that I'm not alone 👍 .
Weirdly enough, while messing around and trying different things - creating a new folder and moving the source files and utility into this new folder/path, it has seemed to fix this problem. It looks as if there was an issue accessing the original path - not sure the exact root cause of this issue.
Hi @techboyG ! Alex from Simeon Cloud, here. In case you're open to an alternative, our team has created an open source tool http://github.com/simeoncloud/IntuneAppBuilder/ which has the same functionality as this tool (plus the ability to publish apps).
