Old version of Company Portal is downloaded when using Winget

Hi,

I am trying to deploy the Company Portal app to some machines that have not been Autopilot provisioned and am following the instructions here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/apps/store-apps-company-portal-app

I am running the latest version of Winget but for some reason an old version of the Company Portal is being downloaded.

The following command is being used to download the Company Portal app and it's dependencies:

winget download "company portal" --architecture x64 --skip-license

The version that is being downloaded is 2021.602.1826_0

Does anyone have any ideas why?
I am thinking that the file is being maybe being downloaded from the old Store rather than the new one but I could be completely wrong about this.

Thanks

Steve.

    Hello Steve Faulkner,

    I got the same file downloaded using winget command. Any specific reason to why you are downloading as offline installer? You can directly deploy the Company Portal App as a Microsoft Store app (new) to a group of devices.

    Below are the instructions (tested on direct Entra joined and enrolled, non-autopilot provisioned device and it works),

    1. On Intune Portal, go to Apps->Windows and click Create
    2. Select app type as "Microsoft Store app (new)" User's image
    3. Click Add and click "Search the Microsoft Store app (new)"
    4. Type Company Portal and select the Company portal app as below User's image
    5. Select Install behavior to System User's image
    6. Click Next and under Assignments add the group that contains the required devices to deploy this to.
    7. Click Next and Create

    I did the same for my test machine joined to Entra and enrolled (not Autopilot provisioned) and can see it installed successfully, as below.

    User's imageAlso, confirmed manually on the machine that it is installed.

    Refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/apps/store-apps-company-portal-app#download-the-offline-company-portal-app

    Hope that helps!
