ALIASES¶

DESCRIPTION¶

The Add-AppVentiXPackage function adds an App-V (.appv) or MSIX (.msix) package to an AppVentiX machine group's content share. It validates the package file, checks licensing, manages machine group associations, and copies the package to the appropriate content share location.

The function performs the following operations: - Validates that the package file exists and has a supported extension (.appv or .msix) - Verifies that AppVentiX is properly licensed - Retrieves the specified machine group configuration - Validates the content share configuration (handles single or multiple content shares) - Extracts package metadata from the manifest - Creates a destination folder and copies the package to the content share

EXAMPLE 1¶

Add-AppVentiXPackage -PackageFilename "C:\Packages\MyApp_1.0.0.0_x64.msix" -MachineGroupFriendlyName "Production"

Adds the MSIX package to the Production machine group's content share (assuming the machine group has only one content share defined).

EXAMPLE 2¶

Add-AppVentiXPackage -PackageFilename "C:\Packages\MyApp.appv" -MachineGroupFriendlyName "Development" -ContentShare "\server\dev-packages"

Adds the App-V package to the Development machine group's specific content share when multiple content shares are defined.

EXAMPLE 3¶
