Deploy WinNc to Microsoft Intune

Dunes MultiMediaWindowsversion 11.6.0.0, 3 April 2026

WinNc is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from Dunes MultiMedia, synced from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). Pick it in the App Library and PatchBee writes the deployment plan below, builds the package, publishes it to your Intune tenant and assigns it to the Entra groups you choose. New versions then follow through your update rings.

Install from the command line

winget install --id Dunes.WinNc -e --silent

PatchBee runs the same silent install of WinNc for you in Intune: the installer winget points at, verified, packaged with the switches and detection rule below, and published to your tenant.

The plan PatchBee writes

WinNc as an Intune app

The standard form for a Inno Setup (x64, per machine). The real plan is generated from the installer when you package, and shown in full before anything is published; every field can be changed.

PatchBee downloads the installer from the publisher's own URL and verifies its SHA-256 against the catalog before packaging. "None published" means the source carries no hash for this download, so that check has nothing to compare against; packaging still works.

About WinNc

WinNc is a file manager for Windows 11/10/8/7/Vista/XP/2003/2000/ME/98/95 that replaces the use of the existing Windows Explorer.

Developed by a Dutch multimedia company called Dunes MultiMedia, WinNc uses the same key shortcuts and the same mouse functionality as well-known DOS file managers.

The product gives you direct drag-and-drop access to servers, network neighborhoods and other network computers in the double-pane interface, each of which function independently.

In addition to standard file-management functions such as formatting, copying, moving, deleting and editing files, WinNc lets you view inside compressed files as if they were directories (it allows you to split, encrypt and FTP files, too).

WinNc can view JPEG, GIF, BMP, TGA, WMF, PCX, WAV, FLC, DOCS, XLS, HTML, MID and AVI files.

It supports extraction from WAV to MP3 files, ripping audio CDs to MP3 and converting WAV to MP3.

How this becomes an app in your tenant

Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find WinNc in the App Library, open its plan (the commands, detection rule and requirements above, editable) and publish: PatchBee downloads and verifies the installer, builds the package, creates the Intune app and assigns your groups. When Dunes MultiMedia ships a new version, PatchBee detects it and rolls it out through your rings, with supersedence and rollback.

Catalog data as of 11 October 2026, from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). The product re-reads the source every night and plans against the live catalog, so the version here may already be one behind. Nothing is published to a tenant without an administrator approving the plan.
