Frequently asked questions

Can I silently install BLINK Cliplets on Windows?
Yes. This guide applies MSIX / Store app switches for a completely unattended setup of BLINK Cliplets 1.0.1.0 without user interaction, well-suited for Intune, SCCM, PDQ Deploy, and RMM platforms.
Do I need administrator privileges to install BLINK Cliplets?
Yes, administrative rights are necessary. Execute the setup with elevated privileges or deploy through the SYSTEM context.
Will installing BLINK Cliplets restart the computer?
No. Deploying an MSIX / Store package via Add-AppxProvisionedPackage avoids system reboots. The application registers for all users upon their subsequent login.
How do I verify BLINK Cliplets installed successfully?
Check the installation using the detection rule outlined here—such as a file path, registry key, MSI product code, or MSIX package family name—which is widely compatible with Intune, SCCM, and PDQ.
How do I silently uninstall BLINK Cliplets?
Execute Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage along with the complete package name to remove it.
Which deployment tools support these commands?
These commands integrate smoothly with Intune, SCCM/MECM, PDQ Deploy, ManageEngine, NinjaOne, Datto RMM, Atera, and Action1.

Troubleshooting

If the install fails, exits with a non-zero code, or leaves no trace on the target machine, work through the checks below. Most issues come down to permissions, paths, or exit code handling.

Run as administratorMake sure Command Prompt or PowerShell is opened as Administrator. This installer writes to a machine-wide location and will fail silently without elevated permissions.
Verify the installer file nameConfirm that the installer file name matches the command shown in this guide: Microsoft.BLINKCliplets_1.0.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.msix.
Run from the correct folderRun the command from the folder that contains the installer file. For batch or PowerShell deployments, place the script and installer in the same folder.
Check exit codesIf the installer returns a non-zero exit code, review the installer log or your deployment tool's logs. Some packages use additional success exit codes.
Restart if requiredIf the application does not appear immediately after installation, sign out and sign back in, or restart the device — this refreshes Start menu shortcuts, file associations, and Path entries written by the installer.
Validate detection rulesIf your deployment tool reports the app as not installed, verify that the detection rule matches the installed version, MSI product code, registry key, or file path. Use the Detection Rules section above to confirm whether the application was installed successfully.

Deployment recap

Before you roll BLINK Cliplets out to production, confirm you have:

  • The silent install command, run from an elevated prompt
  • The matching silent uninstall command for rollback
  • The detection rule wired into your deployment tool

Got all three? You’re ready to deploy at scale. If this guide saved you time, fuel the next one:
