    Hi,

    Can i use the Folder tokens such as AppVComputerName, AppVCurrentUserSID, AppVPackageRoot....etc in ini and cmd files. I found that it is used in Deployment config files. Apart from the Deploymentconfig file, can we use it in ini and cmd files, as we used %CSIDL...% in App-v 4.x.

    Thanks,

    Prem

    You could use powershell and just replace what you have to replace.

    Note that depending on the INI file location the user might need specific permissions

    (Get-Content file.txt) | 
Foreach-Object {$_ -replace '\[MYID\]','MyValue'}  | 
Out-File file.txt

    I don't hink that this is possible (and also I think that the CSIDLs could not be used in INI or CMD files with App-V 4 either).

    As the pattern of [{... }]  are quite easy to identify, you should be able to run a text search&replaced (like with powershell) before you start the application.

    Falko,

    Thanks for your reply.

    In that case, if there is any hardcoded entry in any ini file, how can we fix it in App-v 5?

    Thanks,

    Prem
