To monitor the application installation, select the application, and Under Monitor, you can check the device and user check-in status. If you click on Device install status or User install status, additional details are displayed.
Check Event Viewer for Application Installation Status
To confirm the application has been installed successfully, you can also check it in Event Viewer. Let’s follow the below steps to check the Application Deployment status.

The Event log path to confirm, Navigate – Applications and Services Logs – Microsoft – Windows – Devicemanagement-Enterprise-Diagnostics-Provider – Admin
EnterpriseDesktopAppManagement CSP: An application install has succeeded. MSI ProductCode: , User SID: , Result: (The operation completed successfully.)Tracking Intune MSI App Deployment from Windows Registry
All the information can be easily tracked using the registry for tracing deployment issues. LOB app deployment details can be checked from the following registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EnterpriseDesktopAppManagement.
There will be two sub-keys corresponding to the

- user SID [will list all user context MSI deployments]
Under System or user subkeys, you will find the MSI app deployments from Intune listed using the MSI Product ID of the package. Explore the post from Joy on how you can troubleshoot Intune app deployment issues using the Windows 10 or 11 registry and events.
Thanks for posting this. I followed these steps, including setting “Ignore App Version” to “Yes”, as is stated in the written instructions, however my client computers never update, and are perpetually stuck on an older version. I notice that your screen shots, however, have this setting set to “No”. Which is correct? Or do you have any suggestions as to why Zoom will not update when it’s set to “Yes”?
I thought we shouldn’t use LOB and Win32 apps togther
Hey, so Zoom MSI command line switches are not mentioned. You have to use them to tell Zoom what to do when installing from a MSI. If you do nothing Zoom will not update or allow users to update. Zoom just changed the command and now there are many options. Take a glance at these. I am currently forcing update by re-uploading the msi, and using command line switches to allow for user to check for updates and to auto update. Hope that helps!
