Deploy Stop Motion Studio 2 on Windows 11 through Endpoint Manager ​

Silent Deployment via Microsoft Intune (MDM) ​

This guide provides IT Administrators with the necessary steps to deploy Stop Motion Studio across school-managed Windows devices. Our installer supports a "Zero-Touch" activation model, allowing you to inject your site license key during the deployment process so students are never prompted for a serial number.

1. Prerequisites ​

  • License Key: You should have your school-specific serial number provided at the time of purchase.
  • Intune App Type: Use the Windows app (Win32) type for deployment.
  • Intune Content Prep Tool: Ensure you have the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool to create an .intunewin file.

2. Preparation ​

  1. Create a folder (e.g., C:\Deploy) and place the setup.exe inside it.
  2. Run the Content Prep Tool to wrap the .exe into a .intunewin package.
  3. Upload the resulting .intunewin file to your Intune portal.

3. Installation Command ​

When configuring the Program settings in Intune, use the following install command. This command triggers a silent installation and pre-activates the software for all users on the machine.

Install Command:

cmd
setup.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /KEY="YOUR-SCHOOL-SERIAL-HERE"

Uninstall Command:

cmd
"{commonpf}\Stop Motion Studio\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT

Command Line Switches:

  • /VERYSILENT: Runs the installation in the background with no UI.
  • /NORESTART: Prevents the machine from rebooting automatically after install.
  • /KEY="XXXX": Required. This switch injects your license key directly into the secure system registry during installation.

4. Technical Details ​

  • Activation: The software uses a hardware-bound activation token. The license is verified locally on the device.
  • Permissions: The installer must be run in the System Context.
  • Registry Path: The activation token is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cateater\StopMotionStudio.
  • Architecture: The installer automatically detects x86, x64, and ARM64 (emulated) architectures.

5. Detection Rules ​

To verify if the app installed successfully, use the following Detection Rule in Intune:

  • Rule Type: File
  • Path: %ProgramFiles%\Stop Motion Studio
  • File or Folder: Stop Motion Studio 2.exe
  • Detection Method: File or folder exists
