    Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.

    Hexnode enables you to easily deploy applications to Windows devices.
    The common reasons for the failure of app installations are:

    1. EXE file not supported: File formats other than MSI and APPX are currently not supported. To deploy EXE file, you will have to convert them to MSI or APPX.
    2. Installation Overlap: The application that you are trying to deploy might already be installed on the device.
    3. Version mismatch: The application being deployed may not be compatible with the device.
    • All MSI apps are supported on devices with Windows version 1607 and above.
    • Windows 10 S does not support non-Windows store apps.

    4.Missing Agent APP: Before deploying the MSI apps, ensure that the Hexnode Agent app is installed on the device.

    Please check out our troubleshooting doc on Windows app installation for more info.

    Cheers!
