How to apply the deployment configuration file by using Windows PowerShell
Applies to:
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
When you add or set a package to a computer running the App-V client before it's been published, a dynamic deployment configuration file is applied to it. The dynamic deployment configuration file configures the default settings for the package that all users share on the computer running the App-V client. This section will tell you how to use a deployment configuration file.
Apply the deployment configuration file with Windows PowerShell
Note
The following example cmdlet uses the following two file paths for the package and configuration files:
- C:\Packages\Contoso\MyApp.appv
- C:\Packages\Contoso\DynamicConfigurations\deploymentconfig.xml
If your package and configuration files use different file paths than the example, feel free to replace them as needed.
To specify a new default set of configurations for all users who will run the package on a specific computer, in a Windows PowerShell console, enter the following cmdlet:
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, you can use the Set-AppVclientPackage cmdlet to apply the deployment configuration document:
Set-AppVClientPackage -Name Myapp -Path C:\Packages\Contoso\MyApp.appv -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration C:\Packages\Contoso\DynamicConfigurations\deploymentconfig.xml
