1. Install the App-V sequencer. For more information about installing the sequencer, see [How to install the sequencer](appv-install-the-sequencer.md).
|
||||
2. To open a Windows PowerShell console, select **Start** and enter **PowerShell**. Right-click **Windows PowerShell** and select **Run as Administrator**.
|
||||
3. Enter the **New-AppvPackageAccelerator** cmdlet.
|
||||
4. To create a package accelerator, make sure that you have the .appv package to create an accelerator from the installation media or installation files, and optionally a readme file for the accelerator's consumers to use. The following parameters are required to use the package accelerator cmdlet:

3. Make sure that you have the .appv package to create an accelerator from the installation media or installation files. You can also optionally use a readme file for the accelerator's users to reference.
|

4. Enter the **New-AppvPackageAccelerator** cmdlet.
|
||||
|
||||
- **InstalledFilesPath** specifies the application installation path.
|
||||
- **Installer** specifies the path to the application installer media
|
||||
- **InputPackagePath** specifies the path to the .appv package
|
||||
- **Path** specifies the output directory for the package.
|
||||
The following parameters are required to use the package accelerator cmdlet:
|
||||
|
||||
The following example displays how you can create a package accelerator with an .appv package and the installation media:
|
||||
- *InstalledFilesPath* specifies the application installation path.
|
||||
- *Installer* specifies the path to the application installer media.
|
||||
- *InputPackagePath* specifies the path to the .appv package.
|
||||
- *Path* specifies the output directory for the package.
|
||||
|
||||
The following example cmdlet shows how you can create a package accelerator with an .appv package and the installation media:
|
||||
|
||||
```PowerShell
|
||||
New-AppvPackageAccelerator -InputPackagePath <path to the .appv file> -Installer <path to the installer executable> -Path <directory of the output path>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
An additional optional parameter that can be used with the **New-AppvPackageAccelerator** cmdlet is as follows:
|
||||
You can also use the following optional parameter with the **New-AppvPackageAccelerator** cmdlet:
|
||||
|
||||
- **AcceleratorDescriptionFile** specifies the path to user created package accelerator instructions. The package accelerator instructions are **.txt** or **.rtf** description files that will be included in the package created using the package accelerator.
|
||||
- *AcceleratorDescriptionFile* specifies the path to user created package accelerator instructions. The package accelerator instructions are **.txt** or **.rtf** description files that will be included in the package created by the package accelerator.

Therefore you must save Package Accelerators and the associated installation media in a secure location, and you should digitally sign the Package Accelerator after you create it so that the publisher can be verified when the App-V Package Accelerator is applied.
|
||||
> - Before you begin the following procedure, perform the following:
|
||||
- Copy the virtual application package that you will use to create the package accelerator locally to the computer running the sequencer.
|
||||
- Copy all required installation files associated with the virtual application package to the computer running the sequencer.
|
||||
> - The App-V Sequencer does not grant any license rights to the software application you are using to create the Package Accelerator. You must abide by all end user license terms for the application you are using. It is your responsibility to make sure the software application’s license terms allow you to create a Package Accelerator using App-V Sequencer.
