Intel Graphics Control Panel/Command Center - Windows 10, Windows 11,

When you download Store apps, they're intended to be licensed online by having ClipSVC connect to the servers at least once. These packages have normal looking filenames.

Vendors can create offline packages, which don't require any network access, but they must be in the form:
[hash value].appxbundle​
[hash value]_License1.xml​

Normally there's a helper PS script with the real Add-AppxPackage command to call both files, and throw in any bundled pre-req packages just in case these aren't already installed. While NTLite can add Store package files, it currently has no provision to do offline packages because it has to pair the License1.xml at the same time.

Most of the time, both package contents are the same. One format is the online download, another is for offline install. The difference is how licensing is handled. To use the offline version, you have to muck around with scripting. The online version doesn't work for up to 15-20 min. or until ClipSVC gets around in the background.
 
Thats why i would rather an appropriate dell driver do it all, i dont mess with w10 till its post install when drivers and required programs are nicely installed.
 
I've been using license files with packages downloaded from Store.Rg-Adguard for a while now, and still installing successfully. I use

PowerShell -NoLogo -NoProfile -NonInteractive -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath C:\Setup\AppX\AppUp.IntelGraphicsExperience_1.100.5185.0_neutral_~_8j3eq9eme6ctt.appxbundle -DependencyPackagePath C:\Setup\AppX\Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2_2.2.29512.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx,C:\Setup\AppX\Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.2.2_2.2.28604.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx,C:\Setup\AppX\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.32530.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.appx -LicensePath C:\Setup\AppX\AppUp.IntelGraphicsExperience_8j3eq9eme6ctt.xml

For the 'Intel Graphics Experience' (AKA new Control Panel), as an example

This is part of a large .cmd file launched by RunOnce Registry Entry added to the image. As far as I remember installing through setupcomplete is hit and miss. First Boot Launch works better.
 
If it works(and works more reliably) then im all for it.
Can they all be added to an install that is going to be sysprepped and captured and would they all be ready and installed correctly when deployed?

Where did you get the license file? rg-adguard doesn't provide that, unless you've extracted it from a Dell or HP offline installer.

Having a known working license.xml file even just linked to a mirror would be helpful.
sorry, yeah, I downloaded those from Dell. I'll make a license.xml pack and upload it:


I have not personally tested the Optane one, as I don't have the hardware requirements for it and I doubt the NVidia one is going to be useful since its inbuilt on the drivers nowadays, but just for the sake of completion.

Late edit, but it also works on non-dell systems, at least for the Realtek App, I just installed that app on my MSI / AMD system through that XML file.

How do i adapt this script to add just the license.xml(3637f07019b34d75b2e64060e8fab3e0_License1.xml) file and using the Intel driver package for Coffee Lake/Refresh which includes iGCP/CC with either the installer or the zip package? intels packages include iGCP/CC but it doesnt run, there is no context menu entry for it on desktop right click.
 
The restriction with offline licensing, is every License1.xml is matched against a specific package version. That's why both files have the same hashname to distinguish them from other versions. Good news is you can install an older version (which you have a license file), and then allow WU to silently upgrade you to a newer version.

WU will always grant you a replacement license for any packages it upgrades. Otherwise you're constantly searching for another vendor to release an updated package with a License1.xml.

Ok, think you have mentioned that before. I did find a dell uhd630 coffee lake driver package, if that is an older version compared to the latest that intel has then install the dell first then the latest after. Hopefully the older driver files (not igcp) will be deleted and not kept, increasing bloat.
I will look for that dell driver tonight and test it out tomorrow.

Its not an ideal way doing it this way but how often do you have to install a gpu driver anyway, especially on old hardware.
Dont want to bloat or specialise an iso by adding the igcp package just yet, maybe later.
Thank you garlin :)
