Allen Houchins 051d12718c Add JetBrains ReSharper as a Windows Fleet-maintained app (#50659)
**Related issue:** Resolves #50567

Adds JetBrains ReSharper as a Windows Fleet-maintained app (winget
`JetBrains.ReSharper`, version `2026.2.0.2`).

ReSharper is a Visual Studio extension rather than a standalone app, so
it does not follow the pattern of the other JetBrains FMAs (Rider,
PhpStorm, DataGrip, etc.), which are plain NSIS installers that take
`/S`. Reviewers should read the risks below before approving — a couple
of things can only be confirmed from a validator run.

## What's here

- `ee/maintained-apps/inputs/winget/resharper.json`
- `ee/maintained-apps/inputs/winget/scripts/resharper_install.ps1` /
`resharper_uninstall.ps1`
- Generated `ee/maintained-apps/outputs/resharper/windows.json` +
`apps.json` entry
- Icon (`Resharper.tsx`, website PNG, alphabetical `index.ts` entries),
generated from JetBrains' own brand asset

## Decisions that differ from the other JetBrains FMAs

**`use_display_version_for_patch` is omitted.** Every other JetBrains
winget input sets it, but the ReSharper manifest has no
`AppsAndFeaturesEntries`, so the ingester hard-errors with
`use_display_version_for_patch is set but no DisplayVersion found in
winget manifest`. The patch policy therefore compares against winget's
`2026.2.0.2`.

**Custom `exists_query` instead of `fuzzy_match_name`.** The prefix is
loose enough to match a possible per-VS-instance suffix, and excludes
the separate ReSharper C++ and ReSharper SDK products:

```sql
SELECT 1 FROM programs WHERE name LIKE 'JetBrains ReSharper%' AND name NOT LIKE 'JetBrains ReSharper C++%' AND name NOT LIKE 'JetBrains ReSharper SDK%' AND publisher = 'JetBrains s.r.o.';
```

**Install script detects Visual Studio.** It builds `/VsVersion` from
the instances `vswhere` reports and runs the installer with
`/Silent=True /PerMachine=True /SkipEtwService=True`:

- `/PerMachine=True` — the installer otherwise targets `%LocalAppData%`,
which under Fleet's SYSTEM context would land in the SYSTEM profile
instead of the developer's. The path is not configurable
([RSRP-428991](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-428991)).
- `/SkipEtwService=True` — JetBrains documents that `EtwHostService.msi`
always raises a UAC prompt, so a fully silent install of every component
is not possible
([SUPPORT-A-3189](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/articles/SUPPORT-A-3189)).
- It then waits for the uninstall registry entry (what osquery reads),
because the web bootstrapper can outlive its own exit code, and logs the
resulting ARP entries.

**Uninstall removes every matching entry**, since ReSharper registers
one per Visual Studio instance, using the defensive `UninstallString`
parser and appending `/Silent=True` rather than the NSIS `/S`.

Switches come from [JetBrains' silent install/uninstall
article](https://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241485-How-to-use-silent-install-and-silent-uninstall-of-ReSharper-via-Command-Line),
not guesswork.

## `unique_identifier` is provisional

`program_publisher` is verified — `JetBrains s.r.o.` is hard-coded next
to the ARP value names (`DisplayName`, `DisplayVersion`,
`UninstallString`, `Publisher`) in `JetBrains.Platform.Installer.exe`,
extracted from the installer.

The **DisplayName is not verifiable offline.** The winget URL is a
two-stage web bootstrapper: the 69 MB `.web.exe` contains
`JetBrains.Platform.Installer.Bootstrap.exe`, which downloads the
JetBrains dotUltimate installer, which downloads the product packages.
The ARP entry is written by that downloaded stage under
`Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID}`, with
`DisplayName` taken from a per-VS-host `PresentableName`. So `JetBrains
ReSharper` is a best-supported guess.

It can be confirmed from a validator run:
`cmd/maintained-apps/validate/windows.go` searches `programs` with a
loose `LOWER(name) LIKE '%…%'` on both the catalog name and
`unique_identifier`, and logs `Found app: '<DisplayName>' … Version:
<ver>` after running `MutateSoftwareOnIngestion`. That reveals both the
true DisplayName and the post-mutation version. The install script
prints the same information. **Expect a follow-up commit correcting
`unique_identifier` (and possibly the exists query) once that log
lands.**

## Risks

1. **Payload is not pinned.** The SHA covers only the 69 MB
bootstrapper; roughly 1.7 GB is fetched from `download.jetbrains.com` at
install time. JetBrains publishes only a `windowsWeb` download for
ReSharper, so there is no offline installer to point at. Install
duration may exceed script timeouts.
2. **Requires Visual Studio.** With no VS present the installer has
nothing to install, so the script exits 1 with a clear message.
`windows-latest` runners ship Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise, so
validation should be able to install.
3. **`/PerMachine=True` conflicts with pre-existing per-user installs.**
JetBrains states machine-wide mode "is not compatible with existing
installations in user profiles"; one must be removed first.
4. **`/SkipEtwService=True` omits the ETW host service**, so
dotTrace/dotMemory profiling integration is incomplete. This is the
documented tradeoff for an unattended install.
5. **Version reconciliation unconfirmed.** If the DisplayName ends in a
marketing version, the JetBrains name-based version mutation fires and
the validator's prefix check passes; a VS-suffixed name would instead
fall back to the registry `DisplayVersion`.

# Checklist for submitter

- [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted
data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell
metacharacters.
- [x] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite
loops

## Testing

- [x] `go test ./ee/maintained-apps/...` passes; both output JSON files
parse; generated SHA matches the winget manifest.
- [ ] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually — **not done.**
Install/uninstall need a Windows host with Visual Studio; relying on the
FMA Windows validator, which is also how `unique_identifier` gets
confirmed.

Open-source platform for IT and security teams with thousands of computers. Designed for APIs, GitOps, webhooks, YAML, and humans.

A glass city in the clouds

What's it for?

Fleet gives you a single system to secure and maintain all your computing devices over the air. You can do MDM, patch stuff, deploy software, and verify anything, all from one place, across every OS your organization uses.

Fleet works directly with data and events from the native operating system, down to the bare metal. Strong diagnostics let you investigate errors on end-user devices and collect accurate audit evidence in minutes.

Get started

You can try Fleet out for yourself, or grab time with one of the maintainers to chat.

Is it any good?

Fleet is used in production by IT and security teams managing thousands of devices. Many deployments support tens of thousands of hosts, and a few large organizations manage 400,000 or more.

Supported platforms

  • Linux (all distros)
  • macOS
  • Windows
  • Chromebooks
  • iOS and Android (BYOD or corporate-owned)
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Google Cloud (GCP)
  • Azure (Microsoft cloud)
  • Data centers
  • Containers (kube, etc)
  • Linux-based IoT devices

Infrastructure as code

Manage your fleet with GitOps, or use the GUI, REST API, webhook events, and the fleetctl command-line tool.

Linux support

First-class support for all major distros. Linux gets the same attention and visibility as macOS and Windows.

Visibility and compliance

Fleet can report on hundreds of attributes across your devices and ships with CIS benchmarks for macOS and Windows and comprehensive operating system, hardware, and software data. Check out the table reference documentation to see what's available.

Open by design

Fleet is open source and transparent about what it can and can't see. End users can verify exactly how the agent works and what data their company collects. Fleet collects only the data needed to manage and secure devices, not private activity like keystrokes, emails, or webcams.

Good neighbors

Ready-to-use, enterprise-friendly integrations exist for Snowflake, Splunk, GitHub Actions, Vanta, Elastic Jira, Zendesk, and more. Fleet also works with tools such as Munki, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne.

Lighter than air

Fleet is lightweight and modular. You can use it for MDM without using it for security, and vice versa. You can turn off features you are not using.

Free as in free

The free version of Fleet will always be free. Fleet is independently backed and actively maintained with the help of many amazing contributors.

Longevity

The company behind Fleet is founded (and majority-owned) by true believers in open source. The company's business model is influenced by GitLab (NYSE: GTLB), with great investors, happy customers, and the capacity to become profitable at any time.

Fleet Device Management's company handbook is public and open source. You can read about the history of Fleet and our commitment to improving the product.
