How to apply the user configuration file by using Windows PowerShell

[!INCLUDE Applies to Windows client versions]

When you publish a package to a specific user, you'll also need to specify a dynamic user configuration file to tell that package how to run.

Apply a user configuration file

Here's how to specify a user-specific configuration file:

Note

The following example cmdlets use this example file path for its package:

• C:\Packages\Contoso\MyApp.appv.

If your package file uses a different file path than the example, feel free to replace it as needed.

1. Enter the following cmdlet in Windows PowerShell to add the package to the computer:

   Add-AppVClientPackage C:\Packages\Contoso\MyApp.appv
   

2. Enter the following cmdlet to publish the package to the user and specify the updated the dynamic user configuration file:

   Publish-AppVClientPackage $pkg -DynamicUserConfigurationPath C:\Packages\Contoso\config.xml
