There are three ways to export:
- Per-package export — from the dashboard, click Export on a package card
- Batch export — select multiple packages and click the Export toolbar icon
- HTTP download — when running in a browser (not the desktop app), exports download as
{AppVendor}_{AppName}_{Version}_{Arch}.zipthrough the browser
In the desktop app, exports are written directly to the Default Output Folder set in Settings. If that path is empty or invalid, the app falls back to your Downloads folder.
The exported .zip contains everything needed to deploy:
Contoso_MyApp_1.0.0_x64.zip
Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1 <- Your generated script
Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.exe <- PSADT executable stub
PSAppDeployToolkit/ <- PSADT module
PSAppDeployToolkit.Extensions/ <- Extensions (if present in toolkit)
Config/ <- Configuration
Strings/ <- Localization
SupportFiles/ <- Support files
Assets/ <- Icons
Files/ <- Your uploaded files
MyApp.msi
config.xml
Free vs Paid: In the paid edition, enabling Include README.md on the Settings → General tab causes a
README.mdwith package metadata, parameters, and phase documentation to be generated and added to the exported zip. The toggle is visible but locked in the free edition.
