    Changelog

    New updates, improvements, and fixes for InstallMage.

    V1.2.0

    — The "Relay" Release
    Feature
    August 20, 2026

    InstallMage V1.2.0 turns the API into a real integration surface: an MCP server your AI agent can call directly, completion webhooks, batch conversions, and full MSP-tier API access — plus a CSV export for client billing and audit trails.

    🤖MCP Server for AI Agents

    • convert_exe & check_conversion_status Tools — Point any MCP-compatible client — Claude, a custom RMM copilot — at installmage.com/mcp and it can trigger a real conversion and track it to completion, not just look up documentation.
    • Public API & MCP Docs — Full REST API and MCP server documentation now live at installmage.com/docs/api, including a ready-to-paste client config.

    🔌REST API Expansion

    • Completion Webhooks — Pass an optional callback_url to api-convert and get a POST the moment a job finishes or fails — no more polling required.
    • Batch Conversion Endpoint — api-convert-batch accepts up to 5 installers in one request, mirroring the dashboard's bulk upload queue, with per-file results.
    • MSP Tier API Access — API keys are now available on the MSP plan, not just Pro.

    📊Job History Export

    • CSV Export — Export your conversion history — respecting your current search and status filters — for client billing and audit trails.

    V1.1.0

    — The "Sentinel" Release
    Feature
    June 30, 2026

    InstallMage V1.1.0 sharpens the workflow for IT teams with real-time chat notifications, batch upload capabilities, and faster deployment scripting — turning repetitive packaging tasks into a hands-off operation.

    🔔Chat Notifications

    • Slack & Microsoft Teams Webhooks — Connect an incoming webhook URL in Settings and get pinged the moment a conversion finishes — no more watching progress bars on large files.
    • Test & Validate On-Demand — Built-in webhook tester sends a live message to your channel so you can verify connectivity before starting a batch.

    📦Bulk Upload Queue

    • 5-File Drop Zone — Drag or select up to five EXE installers at once. Each file is queued, scanned, and converted in parallel without manual hand-holding.
    • Per-File Progress Tracking — Individual status indicators for every queued job so you know exactly which package is packaging and which is wrapping.

    📋Intune Cheat Sheet UX

    • One-Click Copy for Detection Rules — Added copy-to-clipboard buttons directly inside the Intune Cheat Sheet modal for deployment commands, registry paths, and file-detection snippets.

    V1.0.0

    — The "Ironclad" Release
    Major Release
    March 18, 2026

    InstallMage V1.0 introduces a fully automated, cloud-based pipeline for converting standard Windows executables (.exe) into deployment-ready .intunewin packages — powered by a custom-engineered, self-healing Linux worker.

    🚀Core Features & Engine

    • Zero-Touch Conversion Pipeline — Automated the end-to-end flow of downloading an .exe, generating a WiX toolset XML manifest, compiling the MSI, and wrapping it in Microsoft's Intune Content Prep Tool format.
    • Intelligent Installer Detection — Implemented a binary analysis engine that automatically identifies underlying installer frameworks (Inno Setup, NSIS, InstallShield, WiX) and injects the precise silent installation arguments required.
    • Dynamic Intune Cheat Sheets — Automatically generates a companion instructions file for every job, providing the exact MSI Product Codes, unique GUIDs, and dynamically named wrapper commands.
    • Real-Time State Management — Integrated continuous job polling, state updates, and robust error logging.

    🛠️Under-the-Hood Engineering

    • 64-Bit Architecture Emulation — Transitioned the core Wine sandbox to a strict 64-bit architecture to natively support modern enterprise applications.
    • Self-Healing .NET 4.8 Subsystem — Built a dynamic fallback mechanism that detects broken emulators and autonomously installs Genuine Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 for flawless AES encryption.
    • COM Interop Bypass — Engineered a surgical bypass (payload.dat) for Wine's incomplete COM Interop, preventing Intune tool crashes.
    • Dynamic Command Wrappers — Developed a runtime _Setup.cmd injection system that mirrors the uploaded application's name and executes the payload cleanly.

    🔐Security & Compliance

    • Automated Code Signing — Integrated digital .pfx certificate signing directly during the compilation phase to bypass Windows SmartScreen.
    • Zero-Retention Policy — Original .exe uploads are permanently wiped from cloud storage the moment compilation completes.

    🐛Critical Bug Fixes

    • Resolved Headless NRE Crashes — Restored quiet execution flags to prevent NullReferenceExceptions in headless containers.
    • Fixed Cryptography Access Denied (Code 5) — Explicitly routed temporary directories through the C:\ drive structure to satisfy the .NET AES encryption engine.
    • Mitigated OOM Swap-Thrashing — Optimized worker memory profiles to eliminate SIGKILL interruptions during massive zip compression cycles.
