How to Apply the Deployment Configuration File by Using PowerShell

The dynamic deployment configuration file is applied when a package is added or set to a computer running the App-V 5.0 client before the package has been published. The file configures the default settings for package for all users on the computer running the App-V 5.0 client. This section describes the steps used to use a deployment configuration file. The procedure is based on the following example and assumes the following package and configuration files exist on a computer:

c:\Packages\Contoso\MyApp.appv

c:\Packages\Contoso\DynamicConfigurations\deploymentconfig.xml

To Apply the Deployment Configuration File Using PowerShell

• To specify a new default set of configurations for all users who will run the package on a specific computer, using a PowerShell console type the following:

  Add-AppVClientPackage –Path c:\Packages\Contoso\MyApp.appv -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration c:\Packages\Contoso\DynamicConfigurations\deploymentconfig.xml

  Note This command captures the resulting object into $pkg. If the package is already present on the computer, the Set-AppVclientPackage cmdlet can be used to apply the deployment configuration document:

  Set-AppVClientPackage –Name Myapp –Path c:\Packages\Contoso\MyApp.appv -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration c:\Packages\Contoso\DynamicConfigurations\deploymentconfig.xml
