Command Line Support
AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Automated Application Converter
You can choose to run an Automated Application Converter project file via command line using the following command:
aacx.exe projectname.aacx
where projectname.aacx is the project file to load and execute. Results are displayed in console mode.
You can also use the following command line parameters to override project file settings:
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
|
/create |
Use the /create parameter to indicate the virtual formats to create, such as: aacx.exe /create formattype projectname.aacx where formattype can be any of the following (case-insensitive): AppV MSI xpf and projectname.aacx is the project file to load and execute. For example, to create an App-V package, enter: aacx.exe /create AppV myproject.aacx Multiple create commands can be specified in the same command line. For example, to create all virtual formats, enter: aacx.exe /create AppV /create Citrix /create ThinApp myproject.aacx Note:Settings made using the /create parameter override the selections you made on the Select Output Formats panel, which are saved in the project file. |
|
|
/help /? |
To view command line help, enter either of the following: aacx.exe /? |
|
|
/log |
To create a unicode text file to contain output messages, enter the /log parameter followed by an output file name: aacx.exe /log output.txt myproject.aacx Note: These are the same output messages that would appear in the Output window when using the Automated Application Converter interface, |
|
|
/options |
To specify an alternate options.ini file for repackaging with Automated Application Converter, enter the /options parameter followed by the path to the options.ini file that you want to use, such as: /options C:\options.ini Using this option enables you to specify a different options.ini file when repackaging with Automated Application Converter than the options.ini file that you use when performing standard repackaging with Repackager (which could have custom options in it). The specified options.ini file will be copied to the guest image during repackaging and will overwrite the default Repackager options.ini file. |
|
|
/outdir |
To override the output directory for built and converted packages that was set in the project file on the Select Output Formats wizard panel, use the /outdir parameter: aacx.exe /outdir "C:\output\aacxoutput" myproject.aacx where C:\output\aacxoutput is the name of the directory that will contain the output. |
|
|
/report |
To specify the name of the HTML report that is generated after conversion, use the /report parameter: aacx.exe /report reportname.html myproject.aacx |
|
|
/showreport |
To specify the name of the HTML report that is generated after conversion and to automatically display that report, use the /showreport parameter: aacx.exe /showreport reportname.html myproject.aacx |
|
|
/vmplatform |
To specify the platform to use when performing automated repackaging, overriding the VMs selected in the project file, use the /vmplatform parameter: aacx.exe /vmplatform platformvalue proj.aacx where platformvalue is constructed from a version integer using the formula of MajorVersion * 100 + MinorVersion of the operating system (such as 600 for Windows Vista), followed optionally by s (for server) and/or x64 (for 64-bit). Examples are below. |
|
|
Windows Vista 32-bit |
aacx.exe /vmplatform 600 myproject.aacx |
|
|
Windows Vista 64-bit |
aacx.exe /vmplatform 600x64 myproject.aacx |
|
|
Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit |
aacx.exe /vmplatform 601sx64 myproject.aacx |
|
|
All enabled machines |
aacx.exe /vmplatform any myproject.aacx |
|
|
Note:The version integer described above is similar to the Windows Installer VersionNT property. See Operating System Property Values on the MSDN website. |
