For easier deployment of ISL Light to multiple computers, you can use one of the many different deployment tools available. In this guide, we will show you how to deploy ISL Light on Windows computers via Microsoft Intune.
Note: If you have customized ISL Light that you wish to deploy, change the naming of files and paths accordingly to your customization.
To deploy ISL Light on Windows computers please follow the following guide.
Step 1
You will have to prepare an ISL Light silent installer URL which we will use to download the ISL Light for deployment. Here is an example of how the prepared ISL Light installer URL should look like:
https://ICP_ADDRESS/download/ISLLight?cmdline=--setup-and-exit
Note: You can use this example to prepare the ISL Light silent installer URL for your case. Please adjust ICP_ADDRESS to your use case. ISL cloud users need to use islonline.net for ICP_ADDRESS.
Step 2
Once you have the ISL Light silent installer URL prepared, download the ISL Light from the URL.
Step 3
Transform the downloaded .exe into an .intunewin file. Check this official guide from Microsoft on how to do this.
Step 4
Open Microsoft Intune, select “Apps” from the left menu and click on “Windows” under “By platform”.
Step 5
Select “Add” on the top of the page, set App type to “Windows app (Win32)” and click “Select” on bottom right of the page.

Step 7
On the “App information” page fill out the required fields:

Step 8

- Uninstall command - “C:\Program Files (x86)\ISL Online\ISL Light\unins000.exe /VERYSILENT /SILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES”
- Install behavior - System
- Device restart behavior - No specific action
After you have filled out the required fields, select “Next”.
Note: If you have customized ISL Light adjust the install and uninstall command to your customization.
Step 9
On the “Requirements” page set the Operating system architecture and Minimum operating system for your deployment. Additionally you can fill out other input fields. Then proceed to the next page by clicking “Next”.
