APP-V 5 has been around more than one year now and if you have a lot of old APP-V 4.5 or 4.6 packages then you may want to move to newer version to get all the nice features that APP-V 5 provides.
APP-V 5 Sequencer PowerShell Module contains Test-APPvLegacyPackage and ConvertFrom-AppvLegacyPackage CMDLETs. Test-AppvLegacyPackage CMDLET allows us to analyze old packages and if the analyzer says no problem, then we can convert the old apps to never version with ConvertFrom-AppvLegacyPackage CMDLET.
I got 61 old APP-V packages last week and I wanted an easy way to analyze these packages and also a feature that allows to export the results to excel and a better control of what packages I convert or not and because of that I made one simple utility in PowerShell.
This tool allows to read/analyze/convert all the APP-V packages in specific location and you can export out also package analyze information

Why the Win8 requirement?
Hi,
Windows 8 because I didnt test it with other Windows versions. It should work also with Windows 7 with PowerShell 3.0
Would it be possible to add another input field so we could specify the output directory?
The utility works fine on Windows 7.
Yep, it is and currently I don´t know when I realease the second version.
Best,
Kaido
j’avais le plaisir lors de la visite de ce blog. Bon courage.
Hi Kaido,
How do I use this tool?
I have downloaded and unzip it and have a powershell file named “Convert-AppVLegacyPackages.ps1”.
So what do I do with it??
