Is it possible to directly push .exe applications to Windows devices using Hexnode? I had been working with an MDM where we usually had to convert .exe apps into a Win32 package before deploying them. Does Hexnode also require this conversion, or can we just directly deploy them?

Hey @timo-liam , Hexnode does not require you to convert .exe apps into Win32 packages before deployment. You can directly upload the .exe installation package into Hexnode where you can deploy it to your Windows devices through the portal. But while pushing the app to the device, you need to make sure that you are providing the success criteria to confirm that the app was installed correctly on the device. The success criteria can take parameters such as app identifiers, registry paths, and app paths. If the set criteria are met, the app is considered successfully installed. You can refer to our help doc to learn more about success criteria and .exe app deployment process.

@kylian_parker , that’s perfect! Also is success criteria a mandatory parameter for pushing .exe apps?

@timo-liam , yes, success criteria is a mandatory part of deploying .exe apps into Windows devices through Hexnode. When you upload the .exe app file to the Hexnode portal, you must also specify at least one success criterion. This is crucial for the app installation as it helps admins to validate the installation.
