HelpXplain by EC Software is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from EC Software, 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.
The plan PatchBee writes
HelpXplain by EC Software 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.

| Architecture | Type | Scope | Hash |
|---|---|---|---|
| x64 | Inno Setup | per user | SHA-256 published |
| x64 | Inno Setup | per machine | SHA-256 published |
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 HelpXplain by EC Software
HelpXplain is the perfect tool to create HTML-based step-by-step instructions.
Create animated step-by-step tutorials and quick instructions in minutes instead of hours. The magic is in the method: it animates a series of simple screenshots, each of which can be edited or replaced at any time.
HelpXplain can also record multi-page screencasts of programs on your computer screen that run in autoplay mode like a video. Recording and editing them is massively easier than trying to create a video!
All Xplains are 100% standards-compliant HTML5 and Javascript, 100% responsive and cross-platform. With an overhead small enough to load in less than a second!

How this becomes an app in your tenant
Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find HelpXplain by EC Software 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 EC Software 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.
