Step 3 – The Add Application Wizard should be run three times (not shown) in order to import each file. As you do, specify the following deployment options:

  • Install Context should be set to Device.
  • Install Command should have /ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 added at the end of its field if you want to hide the MSI from the Control Panel.
  • App Delivery Method should be set to Auto so it becomes a forced installation .
  • Assignment Groups can be All Devices or Targeted, depending on what you need.
