Hello ,I dont find the reason why you want to deploy using GPO,instead you can use WSUS wich will do the job automatically for you.RegardsSahilMCSA -Security

Hi Maelito,
To deploy a non-MSI software via GPO, you can use ZAP or convert the non-MSI file to msi file. Please refer to the following articles:
How to publish non-MSI programs with .zap files

AdminStudio SMS Edition which can convert legacy applications to the industry-standard Windows Installer (MSI) format
