MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
You are using Microsoft Intune to deploy a Win32 app (MyApp.exe) to Windows 10 devices. The app requires .NET Framework 4.8 as a dependency. You have created a Win32 app for .NET Framework 4.8 and set it as a dependency for MyApp. However, when you assign MyApp to a device group, the installation fails because .NET Framework is not installed first. The detection rules for MyApp are correctly configured. What should you do to ensure that the dependency is installed before MyApp?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable 'Auto-install dependency' in the dependency settings of MyApp.
In Microsoft Intune, dependencies are not automatically installed unless you enable the 'Auto-install dependency' setting in the dependency configuration of the parent app (MyApp). This setting ensures that Intune installs the dependency before the parent app. Option A is incorrect because assignment priority does not control installation order; all assigned apps are installed independently. Option B is incorrect because modifying detection rules only affects how Intune detects whether an app is installed, not the installation order. Option C is incorrect because requiring pre-installation is impractical and not the intended use of dependencies.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Assign the dependency app to the same device group with a higher priority.
Why it's wrong here
Intune does not prioritize based on assignment order.
- ✗
Modify the detection rule for the dependency app to check a different file.
Why it's wrong here
Detection rule does not affect installation order.
- ✗
Require that all devices have .NET Framework 4.8 pre-installed before enrollment.
Why it's wrong here
Not feasible; should be automated.
- ✓
Enable 'Auto-install dependency' in the dependency settings of MyApp.
Why this is correct
This ensures the dependency is installed first.
