Update Existing Deployments (V4 to V4)

The Toolkit General Discussion
1

What is the best way to update existing deployments when there is a minor version change (v4.0.5 to v.4.0.6 for example)?

Currently I do a document comparison of the old and new “Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1” files and manually update existing deployments with any new changes, but seems like there should be a better way.

The documentation mentions a function “Convert-ADTDemployment” that automatically updates v3 deployments to v4, is there a similar function for updating v4 deployments?

You dont need to convert old v4x to new v4x

I would just download PSAppDeployToolkit_Template_v4.zip
and copy the files I changed from the previous version to the new version.

Typically this would mean:
Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1
The old \Files\ folder
\Config\config.psd1

I also compare the old vs new Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1 using a tool like winmerge.
Same for config.psd1

I also only do this with a new version of the package. If I have a working package, I don’t upgrade unless needed (New version of the app or to fix an issue in the old package).

Thanks, I see I also asked the same question couple months ago, sorry for the duplication!
