Add-Appv Client Package

Module:
appvclient
Adds a package to a computer running the App-V client.

Syntax 

Add-AppvClientPackage
   [-Path] <String>
   [[-DynamicDeploymentConfiguration] <String>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-AppvClientPackage cmdlet adds a new package to a computer that runs the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) client. You can also upgrade an existing package running on a computer that runs the App-V client. The newly added package or package version is registered with the App-V client.

If the package already exists on the computer, but the package to be added is a different version, the new version is added. Existing versions remain unchanged.

Examples

Example 1: Add a package to the client 

PS C:\> Add-AppvClientPackage -Path "http://MyServer/content/package.APPV"

This command adds a new package to the client computer. If the package is a different version of an already existing package, the App-V agent adds this new version, but does not modify any existing versions. Since no computer policy is provided, the package receives the default computer policy.

Example 2: Add a package with a configuration file 

PS C:\> Add-AppvClientPackage -Path "http://MyServer/content/package.appv" -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration "C:\MyConfigfiles\DynamicDeploymentConfig.xml"

This command adds a package with a Dynamic Deployment Configuration file.

Example 3: Add a package to the client and store the result 

PS C:\> $Package = Add-AppvClientPackage -Path "http://MyServer/content/package.APPV"

This command adds a new package to the client and assigns the resulting AppvClientPackage object to the variable $Package.
