Deploy XmlNotepad to Microsoft Intune
Chris LovettWindowsversion 2.9.0.22, 8 June 2026
XmlNotepad is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from Chris Lovett, 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
XmlNotepad as an Intune app
The standard form for a MSIX (any architecture, scope decided at plan time). 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 (MSIX), native Intune app type
- Install
- No command: Intune installs the package through its native MSIX app type.
- Uninstall
- Removed by package identity.
- Detection
- Package identity. Package family name and version, checked by Intune itself.
- Requirements
- any architecture · Windows 10.0.17763.0 or newer
Installers in version 2.9.0.22
| Architecture | Type | Scope | Hash |
|---|---|---|---|
| any architecture | MSIX | scope decided at plan time | SHA-256 published |
| any architecture | Zip archive | scope decided at plan time | 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 XmlNotepad in its winget manifest. PatchBee uses them as the installer's unattended switches, so the package installs without a click.

About XmlNotepad
XML Notepad is the result of a promise Chris Lovett made to a friend at Microsoft. The original XML Notepad shipped in back in 1998, written by Murray Low in C++. Later on it fell behind in support for XML standards and, because we didn't have time to fix it, we pulled the downloader. But Murray apparently did such a nice job that MSDN was inundated with requests to put the notepad back up, so they asked for a replacement.

How this becomes an app in your tenant
Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find XmlNotepad 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 Chris Lovett 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.
