I want to get information from an .APPV (version 5) file using Powershell.

Is that possible and how can I get the info ?

I want to obtain e.g. the ProductID, VersionID, shortcut(s) information like working directory, target, parameters etc

Any idea how I can get it using Powershell ?

You can change the .appv extension to .zip format and extract it first. Then query for appxmanifest.xml file in the extracted folder and then obtain the GUID as per your requirement through PS. Hope it helps you.

If you do change it to a .zip, make sure you do it on a copy of the .appv file.
