# How to make a connection group ignore the package version
|
|
|
|
[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
|
|
|
|
You can use Application Virtualization (App-V) to configure a connection group to use any version of a package, simplifying package upgrades and reducing the number of connection groups you need to create.
|
|
|
|
You can also configure a connection group to accept any version of a package, so that you can upgrade the package without having to disable the connection group.
|
|
|
|
- If the connection group has access to multiple versions of a package, App-V will use the latest version.
|
|
|
|
- If the connection group contains an optional package with an incorrect version, App-V ignores the package and won't block the connection group's virtual environment from being created.
|
|
|
|
- If the connection group contains a non-optional package that has an incorrect version, App-V won't be able to create the connection group's virtual environment.
|
|
|
|
## Make a connection group ignore the package version with the App-V Server Management Console
|
|
|
|
1. In the Management Console, select **Connection Groups**.
|
|
|
|
2. Select the correct connection group from the Connection Groups library.
|
|
|
|
3. Select **Edit** in the Connected Packages pane.
|
|
|
|
4. Select the **Use Any Version** check box next to the package name, then select **Apply**.
|
|
|
|
For more about adding or upgrading packages, see [How to add or upgrade packages by using the Management Console](appv-add-or-upgrade-packages-with-the-management-console.md).
|
|
|
|
## Make a connection group ignore the package version from the App-V client on a stand-alone computer
|
|
|
|
1. Create the connection group XML document.
|
|
|
|
2. Set the **Package** tag attribute **VersionID** to an asterisk (<strong>*</strong>) to upgrade the package.
|
|
|
|
3. Enter the following cmdlet (including the path to the connection group XML document) to add the connection group:
|
|
|
|
```PowerShell
|
|
Add-AppvClientConnectionGroup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information about how to use the **Add-AppvClientConnectionGroup** cmdlet, see [**Add-AppvClientConnectionGroup**](/powershell/module/appvclient/add-appvclientconnectiongroup).
|
|
|
|
4. When you upgrade a package, use the following cmdlets to remove the old package, add the upgraded package, and publish the upgraded package:
|
|
|
|
- [**Remove-AppvClientPackage**](/powershell/module/appvclient/remove-appvclientpackage)
|
|
- [**Add-AppvClientPackage**](/powershell/module/appvclient/add-appvclientpackage)
|
|
- [**Publish-AppvClientPackage**](/powershell/module/appvclient/publish-appvclientpackage)
|
|
|
|
For more information, see [How to manage App-V packages running on a stand-alone computer by using Windows PowerShell](appv-manage-appv-packages-running-on-a-stand-alone-computer-with-powershell.md).
