What is the current best way to install .net Runtime v8.0 via Intune to a large number of users? The .net website offers an .exe file but it doesn't contain an .msi I can turn into an Intune app. There are also winget instructions listed but winget doesn't work in a system context so any scripts I package as a Win32 app fail.

I've googled the subject and found some scripts people have found to work around the problem but the one's I've tried have failed (they sit in "installing" status for hours). Is there an option somewhere I've missed?

    @Woodson Baldwin, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my researching, I find the sdk file has silent install command. But it will install three different .NET runtimes which mentioned in the following link:

    dotnet-sdk-8.0.100-win-x64.exe /install /quiet /norestart

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/windows?tabs=net80

    We can warp the sdk to .intunewin and deploy via Win32 app.

    And for the .NET runtimes simple app, after testing, I find the silent install command as below.

    dotnet-runtime-8.0.5-win-x64.exe /install /quiet

    We can wrap this app to. intunewin and deploy it via Win32 as well. The detection rule can detect C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe or if it has registry key set, you can also choose registry key to detect.

    Hope the above information can help.
