This is been on the radar for over 3yrs now.

We manage everything by device. 99% of vendors provide a solution to deploy their software in this way. and then there are the few special ones…

We really do need an MSI installer. That’s probably also why it’s not listed in the Microsoft Store. Microsoft Intune and SCCM play nice with MSI installers.

A .msi setup would make the deployment easier for us too. :blush:

I can’t believe this post started on 2021 and nothing has been done.

Another option is to put the app in Windows store, then it can easily be deployed via Intune. Cmon Asana!

We are in 2025 now. Any updates for the MSI ? Deploying it via Intune is a must.

Bumping this again… Would love an update on the roadmap here

Almost 4 years now…

Hello folks,
it’s kind of sad, that +4 years later there still is no msi.

Anyhow, after struggeling deploying Asana in Intune without the .msi i figured out a solution using winget, which works for me.

  1. Create the following easy powershell script:
    winget install --id=Asana.Asana --exact --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements

  2. Package the script as an .intunewin file

  3. Deploy the Package in intune.
    Installationbehavior: user
    Install command: powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Asana.ps1
    Deinstall command: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Asana\Update.exe" --uninstal
    Detection Rule: File Asana.exe in Path %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Asana exists

I hope this makes other just as happy as it did me :smiley:

And again: a shame there still isnt a .msi!!

We are using Chocolatey because there is no .MSI yet.

Really almost 5 years later and no .MSI???

Just FYI for anyone using this specific package at the time of creating this post this chocolately package is not current as Asana’s official application is currently Version app-2.5.1

Is there any update after 6 years :smiley:

Is there any technical reason why, even after several years, an MSI package for the ASANA Desktop App is still not available?

Glad to see this STILL isn’t done. Funny how there’s another forum there that an official account pointed someone here for an answer…
