/appvve equivalent

Hi, Will there be an equivalent for App-V's /appvve switch? Thanks, Arnout

Hi,

I don't have that much experience with App-V, so I might be missing something here.

Isn't the appve switch similar in functionality with the cmdlet Invoke-CommandInDesktopPackage?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-debug#test-your-app

P.S. We have an update in progress for this free tool, to also support msix/appx packages on top of its current support for app-v. It should help out a little bit more with debugging. (If you have any tips/improvements to recommend leave me a PM)

Thanks, Bogdan, you're not missing anything :-) Invoke-CommandInDesktopPackage is pretty much the equivalent of https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/appvclient/start-appvvirtualprocess, so thank you for bringing that to my attention!

Unfortunately, behind the scenes the implementation has changed from a https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2848278/how-to-launch-processes-inside-the-app-v-5-0-virtualized-environment to an undocumented COM interface, at least for now. Still, stuff to experiment with :-)
