Use the package converter utility to upgrade virtual application packages created using versions of App-V prior to App-V 5.0. The package converter uses PowerShell to convert packages and can help automate the process if you have many packages that require conversion.
**Note**  
App-V packages are exactly the same as App-V 5.0 packages. There has been no change in the package format between the versions and so there is no need to convert App-V 5.0 packages to App-V packages.

### <a href="" id="bkmk-hardcodepath"></a>Hardcoded path to installation folder is redirected to virtual file system root
When you convert packages from App-V 4.6 to 5.1, the App-V package can access the hardcoded drive that you were required to use when you created 4.6 packages. The drive letter will be the drive you selected as the installation drive on the 4.6 sequencing machine. (The default drive letter is Q:\\.)
Previously, the 4.6 root folder was not recognized and could not be accessed by App-V 5.0 packages. App-V packages can access hardcoded files by their full path or can programmatically enumerate files under the App-V 4.6 installation root.
**Technical Details:** The App-V package converter will save the App-V 4.6 installation root folder and short folder names in the FilesystemMetadata.xml file in the Filesystem element. When the App-V client creates the virtual process, it will map requests from the App-V 4.6 installation root to the virtual file system root.
