Download Brian Keller's VM with PowerShell
So yesterday and update for Brian Keller's VM (Visual Studio 2013 Application Lifecycle Management Virtual Machine and Hands-on-Labs / Demo Scripts) was release
"Updated January 9, 2014: The VM was upgraded to include all applicable Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 hands-on-labs / demo scripts. This brings the total number of hands-on-labs / demo scripts you can run with this virtual machine to 24"
Now one of the easiest ways to pull down all the files is to use Free Download Manager which is explained on the post. Every time a new version of TFS is released and the VM is updated I download Free Download Manager, install it, download the files and then uninstall it. This time I thought I'd just make a PowerShell script that could do it for me as it would be less effort. Below is the PowerShell script I used it currently has all the URL's for yesterdays update but all you need to do to use this for future updates is copy everything between the 2 tokens below
URL tokens to copy
###Start - Do Not Include This Line###
COPY EVERYTHING HERE
###End - Do Not Include This Row In Your Selection###and then paste them in the string value for SaveLocationFolder to a location you want to save the files to and then you can download the latest and greatest 🙂
