How to Deploy Grammarly for Windows

Deploying Grammarly for Windows across multiple computers can streamline your team’s productivity and ensure everyone has access to this powerful writing tool. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to deploy Grammarly for Windows using Microsoft Intune

Requirements:

• .NET Framework 4.7.2 (Download)
• WebView2 (Download)
• x64 perUser installer
• x86 perUser installer

Package the Grammarly App

Before You Begin, Download the IntuneWinAppUtil.exe utility from Microsoft. You can find it here:

• Open Command Prompt and navigate to the folder where IntuneWinAppUtil.exe is located.
• Run the following command to create a .intunewin

IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c <setup_folder> -s <source_setup_file> -o <output_folder>

Example:

IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c "C:\Temp\Grammarly" -s "Installer.msi" -o "C:\Temp\Output"

• -c is the folder containing your installation files.

Now you should have Installer.intunewin ready to be uploaded to intune
