There’s a new feature in the App-V 5.1 Sequencer which enables us to export and import a file called AppxManifest.xml:
I’ve been using this approach recently to add custom scripting logic to my packages (I used ACE to make my life slightly easier). What it means is that I can import my App-V package straight into the App-V Management Server and it works straight away with my custom changes – that is, I do not have to manually specify any Deployment/User config files using the approach below:
It also means that when I’m testing my application in standalone mode I do not have to specify DynamicUserConfigurationPath or DynamicDeploymentConfigurationPath parameters to apply the configurations to my package on the Powershell command line.
