How to create a package accelerator by using Windows PowerShell

[!INCLUDE Applies to Windows client versions]

App-V Package Accelerators automatically sequence large, complex applications. Also, when you apply an App-V Package Accelerator, you don't have to manually install an application to create the virtualized package.

Create a package accelerator

  1. Install the App-V sequencer. For more information about installing the sequencer, see How to install the sequencer.

  2. To open a Windows PowerShell console, select Start and enter PowerShell. Right-click Windows PowerShell and select Run as Administrator.

  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.

    The following parameters are required to use the package accelerator 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 example cmdlet shows how you can create a package accelerator with an .appv package and the installation media:

      New-AppvPackageAccelerator -InputPackagePath <path to the .appv file> -Installer <path to the installer executable> -Path <directory of the output path>
      

      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 by the package accelerator.
