Description

The Publish-AppvClientPackage cmdlet publishes the appropriate extension points of a set of Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) packages. Examples of common extension points include shortcuts and FTAs. You can publish the package to the current user or to all users that log into the targeted computer. You can also provide a Dynamic User Configuration file for the package.

Examples

Example 1: Publish a version of a package to all users

PS C:\> Publish-AppvClientPackage -Name "MyApp" -Version 1 -Global -DynamicUserConfiguration "C:\content\policies\MyApp.policy"

This command publishes version 1 of the package named MyApp to all users on the computer and applies the Dynamic User Configuration policy file.

Example 2: Publish a version of a package to a user

PS C:\> Publish-AppvClientPackage -Name "MyApp" -Version 1 -UserPolicy "C:\content\policies\MyAppConfiguration.xml"

This command publishes version 1 of the package named "MyApp" to the user and applies the Dynamic User Configuration policy file.

Example 3: Publish the latest version of a package to all users

PS C:\> Publish-AppvClientPackage -Name "MyApp" -Global

This command publishes the package named MyApp to all users on the computer.

Parameters

-DynamicUserConfigurationPath

Specifies the path to a Dynamic User configuration file for the specified App-V package to be added. The cmdlet uses the Dynamic User Configuration file to override the default behavior provided in the user section of the package manifest or the Dynamic Deployment Configuration.

Type:String
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False

-DynamicUserConfigurationType

Specifies what should be done in the absence of a defined dynamic user configuration file. Valid values are:

  • UseDeploymentConfiguration. The package uses the user configuration portion of deployment configuration.
  • UseNoConfiguration. Clear any previous configuration and use settings from the manifest.
  • UseExistingConfiguration. Make no changes to the configuration and use the last published configuration.

If you do not specify this parameter, this cmdlet uses UseExistingConfiguration if the package is already published or UseDeploymentConfiguration if it is not.

Use this parameter only during user publishing. It is not valid for global publish.
