Deploying AccountRight PC Edition via intune
As of 2026.6 MYOB will no longer be releasing the msi installers that we have used to push the latest version across our organization. I ran into a lot of roadblocks getting this to work using MYOB PC edition and would like to outline what worked for us to save people going through the trouble.
In discussions with the MYOB Team, they have expressed that intune packaging and rollout is not their responsibility and they cannot offer support regarding how this is impacted by the discontinuation of msi installers.
Per the article Deploying AccountRight in an IT-managed environment there is an -allusers flag which works well when pushed by a script or run executed as an administrator, however it fails to install when run as SYSTEM which is how intune executes it. Instead we are now installing myob at user scope (hopefully this means updates will install automatically going forward)
System install failsworking only after changing these paths, even though the install destination is Program Files (x86) and not %localappdata%Deploying AccountRight via Intune
