Deploy Meld to Microsoft Intune

Kai WilladsenWindowsversion 3.24.1, 5 October 2026

Meld is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from Kai Willadsen, 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

Meld 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.

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 Meld in its winget manifest. PatchBee uses them as the installer's unattended switches, so the package installs without a click.

About Meld

Meld is a tool for comparing files and directories, and for resolving differences between them. It is also useful for comparing changes captured by version control systems.

Meld shows differences between two or three files (or two or three directories) and allows you to move content between them, or edit the files manually. Meld's focus is on helping developers compare and merge source files, and get a visual overview of changes in their favorite version control system.

How this becomes an app in your tenant

Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find Meld 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 Kai Willadsen 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.
