Deploying the Fugo Player app with Microsoft Intune

Table of contents

This guide explains how to deploy Fugo Player to Windows devices using Microsoft Intune.

Deploying Fugo through Intune allows you to install the application silently across managed devices, control when new versions are deployed, and manage updates through your existing Intune workflows.

By the end of this guide, your assigned devices will:

You'll need:

The installer is packaged as a machine-wide installation, allowing Intune to install Fugo Player before any user signs in. This makes it suitable for unattended digital signage deployments.

Skip this step if Fugo provided you with a file ending in .intunewin.

Microsoft Intune deploys Win32 applications using the .intunewin format. If you've received the standard installer instead, you'll first need to package it using Microsoft's free Win32 Content Prep Tool.

Place the installer in an empty folder and run:

The tool will generate:

This is the file you'll upload into Intune.

This is the only command-line step required during deployment.

In the Microsoft Intune admin center:

Apps → Windows → Create

Choose:

Windows app (Win32)

Upload your .intunewin file.

Configure the application details:

On the Program page, configure the following:

Install command:

Fugo-Player-Intune-<version>.exe /S

Uninstall command:

"%ProgramFiles%\Fugo Player\Uninstall Fugo Player.exe" /S

Install behavior:

System

The /S switch performs a silent installation and uninstallation, while the System install behavior allows Intune to install Fugo Player without requiring a signed-in user.

Leave the restart behavior set to its default value.

On the Requirements page, configure:

Detection rules allow Intune to determine whether Fugo Player is already installed and whether the installed version satisfies the deployment requirement.

Choose:

Manually configure detection rules

Add a File detection rule with the following values:

Path:

C:\Program Files\Fugo Player

File:

Fugo Player.exe

Detection method:

Version

Operator:

Greater than or equal to

Version

Enter the application version using the four-part format (for example, 1.25.8.0).

Using a version-based detection rule (rather than simply checking whether the executable exists) allows Intune to correctly detect and deploy future updates.

On the Assignments page, add the device group containing your Windows signage devices under Required.

Save the application.

Intune will begin deploying Fugo Player during each device's next check-in.

Because Intune deployments aren't immediate, it may take some time before devices begin installing the application.

When a new version of Fugo Player is released, don't replace the existing application.

Instead:

Devices will receive the new version during their next Intune check-in.

Unlike the standard Windows installer, the Intune version of Fugo Player doesn't update itself automatically. All application updates are managed through Microsoft Intune, giving you full control over version rollout.

Once the Fugo app is installed and running on the screen, you'll see a four digit pairing PIN:

You'll use this pairing PIN to connect your screen to Fugo CMS so that you can manage your content and your screen.

To do that:

1. Log in to your account or start a free trial at fugo.ai/app.

2. Navigate to the Screens page and click Add screen.

3. Select the type of screen this is. You can either select Physical screen here or Test screen.

4. Enter the pairing pin in the space provided.

5. Give your screen a name and click Continue.

6. Add an address (if you want to be able to view your screens in Fugo's map view) and set the orientation if it's different from the standard landscape setting.

7. Assign any labels or custom screen properties to your screen. Click Save details when you're done.

Your screen is now paired to Fugo and will be listed on your Screens page:

From here, you can start assigning and managing the content for your screen/s!

Once deployment completes, each assigned device will:
