Master Packager 24.6.8979 release highlights

For this release, our main goal was to enable you to become a Master Packager when writing custom PSAppDeployToolkit (#PSADT) scripts.

This version will help you:

  • Avoid the frustration of searching for scripts in old packages/notes
  • Save time applying custom scripts
  • Improve onboarding of new packagers
  • Standardize your packaging process across the organization

We wanted to stop:

  • Spending time installing and opening third-party tools like Visual Studio Code to edit PSADT scripts.
  • Searching for PSADT functions and examples in the documentation.
  • Saving and copy/paste pre-made custom scripts from Sticky Notes.

This is how we made that happen:

  1. We integrated IntelliSense into the Master Wrapper Script Editor. A powerful tool that is available in Visual Studio Code.
  2. Then we loaded AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 and AppDeployToolkitExtensions.ps1 files.
  3. After that, we created the Master Wrapper Script Explorer.
    Currently, it supports our built-in and custom snippets. It allows you to save parts of code and then easily access them from the script editor. This is a game changer for making application packaging efficient—everything is in one application.

Here is an example of how you can add your custom scripts to snippets and then load them from the Script editor.

IntelliSense and Script Explorer features are available to Pro license users. Help us help you become a Master Packager by purchasing the Pro license.

We’re working to solve one of the biggest packaging challenges: upgrading previous application versions. You’ll be able to create an upgrade with just a few clicks—no scripting, no Intune Supersedence. Everything will be standardized across your packaging team and organization.
