hi all,
I'm creating a tool for our team which requires that some PS1 scripts are edited to enter some values when installing a software, like the MSI file name and parameters, etc...
I had the idea to read the registry value to locate and start PowerShell instead of the default engine because we have several editors and I would like that everyone can use his/her own preferred one.
here's my attempt;
$string = ((get-itemproperty -literalpath HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1\Shell\edit\command).'(default)')
$string = $string.remove($string.length - 5)
& $string
When the script hits the execution (&), it gives me this error, and I can't understand why. Can someone please give me a clue on what is wrong?
ERROR: & : The term '"C:\Program Files\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc\PowerShell Studio 2017\PowerShell Studio.exe"' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,
ERROR: script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
