Deploy NeoChat to Microsoft Intune
KDE e.V.Windowsversion 26.08.1, 29 September 2026
NeoChat is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from KDE e.V., 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
NeoChat as an Intune app
The standard form for a NSIS (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.
- Intune app type
- Windows app (Win32), .intunewin
- Install
- "NeoChat.exe" /AllUsers
- Uninstall
- "uninstall.exe" /S
- Detection
- Registry: the NSIS uninstall key. Uninstall key NeoChat, DisplayVersion 26.08.1 or newer.
- Requirements
- x64 · per user or per machine
Installers in version 26.08.1
| Architecture | Type | Scope | Hash |
|---|---|---|---|
| x64 | NSIS | per user | SHA-256 published |
| x64 | NSIS | 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.
Silent install switches
Recorded for NeoChat in its winget manifest. PatchBee uses them as the installer's unattended switches, so the package installs without a click.

About NeoChat
NeoChat is a chat app that lets you take full advantage of the Matrix network. It provides you with a secure way to send text messages, videos and audio files to your family, colleagues and friends.
NeoChat aims to be a fully featured application for the Matrix specification. As such everything in the current stable specification with the notable exceptions of VoIP, threads and some aspects of End-to-End Encryption are supported. There are a few other smaller omissions due to the fact that the Matrix spec is constantly evolving but the aim remains to provide eventual support for the entire spec.
Due to the nature of the Matrix specification development NeoChat also supports numerous unstable features. Currently these are:
- Polls - MSC3381
- Sticker Packs - MSC2545
- Location Events - MSC3488
- Publisher
- KDE e.V.

How this becomes an app in your tenant
Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find NeoChat 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 KDE e.V. 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.
