Description
The Set-AppXProvisionedDataFile cmdlet adds custom data into the specified app (.appx) package that has been provisioned in a Windows image. The specified app (.appx) package must already be added to the image prior to adding custom data.
You cannot install an app package (.appx) on an operating system that does not support apps for at least Windows® 8. Apps are not supported on Server Core installations of Windows Server, Windows PE, or on any versions of Windows older than Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.
To install and run apps on Windows Server, you must install the Desktop Experience.
Use the Online parameter to specify the running operating system on your local computer, or use the Path parameter to specify the location of a mounted Windows image.
Examples
Example 1: Add a custom data file to an app package for the running operating system
PS C:\> Set-AppXProvisionedDataFile -Online -PackageName "MyAppxPkg" -CustomDataPath "c:\Appx\myCustomData.dat"
This command adds the custom data file, c:\Appx\myCustomData.dat, into the app package, MyAppxPkg, that has been added to the running Windows operating system.
Example 2: Add a custom data file to an app package for a mounted image
PS C:\> Set-AppxProvisionedDataFile -Path c:\offline -PackageName MyAppxPkg -CustomDataPath c:\Appx\myCustomData.dat
This command adds the custom data file, c:\Appx\myCustomData.dat, into the app package, MyAppxPkg, that has been added to the Windows image mounted to c:\offline.
Parameters
-CustomDataPath
Specifies an optional custom data file for an app. You can specify any file name. The file will be renamed to Custom.dat when it is added to the image. If a Custom.dat file already exists, it will be overwritten.

-LogLevel
Specifies the maximum output level shown in the logs. The default log level is 3. The accepted values are as follows:
- 1 = Errors only
- 2 = Errors and warnings
- 3 = Errors, warnings, and information
- 4 = All of the information listed previously, plus debug output

-LogPath
Specifies the full path and file name to log to.
If not set, the default is %WINDIR%\Logs\Dism\dism.log
.
In Windows PE, the default directory is the RAMDISK scratch space which can be as low as 32 MB.
The log file will automatically be archived.
The archived log file will be saved with .bak appended to the file name and a new log file will be generated.
Each time the log file is archived the .bak file will be overwritten.
When using a network share that is not joined to a domain, use the net use command together with domain credentials to set access permissions before you set the log path for the DISM log.

-ScratchDirectory
Specifies a temporary directory that will be used when extracting files for use during servicing.
The directory must exist locally.
If not specified, the \Windows\%Temp%
directory will be used, with a subdirectory name of a randomly generated hexadecimal value for each run of DISM.
Items in the scratch directory are deleted after each operation.
You should not use a network share location as a scratch directory to expand a package (.cab or .msu file) for installation.
The directory used for extracting files for temporary usage during servicing should be a local directory.
