Syntax

ConvertFrom-AppvLegacyPackage
                [-SourcePath] <String[]>
                [-DestinationPath] <String>
                [-DownloadFullPackageOnFirstLaunch]
                [-OSDsToIncludeInPackage <String[]>]
                [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The ConvertFrom-AppvLegacyPackage cmdlet converts Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) packages created by using an earlier version of App-V. This cmdlet converts packages to the format that works with the current version of App-V. The cmdlet returns all packages that it successfully converts, and it returns error or warning messages that it produces while it converts packages.

Examples

Example 1: Convert a package

PS C:\>ConvertFrom-AppvLegacyPackage -SourcePath "C:\ContosoLegacyAppV" -DestinationPath "C:\ContosoAppV50"

This command converts a single App-V package in a previous format to the current App-V format.

Example 2: Convert all packages under a folder

PS C:\>$Packages = ,$Null
PS C:\> Foreach($x in (Get-ChildItem -recurse)) { if($x.FullName.EndsWith("sprj")) { $Packages += $x.PSParentPath } }
PS C:\> ConvertFrom-AppvLegacyPackage -SourcePath $Packages

The first command creates an empty array named $Packages.

The second command uses the ForEachWindows PowerShell® language command to check recursively for files that have an .sprj file name extension. The command stores all the folders that contain .sprj files in the $Packages array.

The final command converts each package stored in $Packages to the current App-V format.

Parameters
