    System.Net.WebClient in .bat problem with download zip file Powershell


    Hello, I'm preparing a .bat file that downloads few files. I encountered a problem with downloading a larger file. Perhaps it is not the size of the file but a specific link. Well, in the bat file I use the command:

    Code: powershell.exe -Command "(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Driver/mb_driver_audio_realtek_9series.zip','c:\AutoInstalator_temp\mb_driver_audio_realtek_9series')"[/quote] The file has been successfully downloaded but unfortunately has the extension (zip) (.zip) and instead of the content there is a file with the same name but no extension. After unpacking the second file, the content is finally there. But why?

    With smaller files of this type, I did not have any problems and I used the same formula.
    I also tried Start-BitsTransfer and it's the same problem. The only command that works correctly is Invoke-WebRequest but it is very slow.
    Do you know how to solve my problem?

    :)

    BAT file/Script to find and replace files

    Hi, innovative thinkers! I am looking for a BAT file or script that takes random named zips, consisting of 5 random numerals in the name, and renames the zips identical to different .txt files with that same 5 numeral in the same folder.

    Here is an example of what I mean:

    BEFORE BAT

    C:\Documents

    45678_Example_720p.zip
    34284_Example_720p.zip
    67483_Example_720p.zip

    RAT_Example_45678_24f_ONO.txt
    RAT_Example_34284_24f_ONO.txt
    RAT_Example_67483_24f_ONO.txt

    AFTER BAT

    C:\Documents

    RAT_Example_45678_24f_ONO.zip
    RAT_Example_34284_24f_ONO.zip
    RAT_Example_67483_24f_ONO.zip

    RAT_Example_45678_24f_ONO.txt
    RAT_Example_34284_24f_ONO.txt
    RAT_Example_67483_24f_ONO.txt

    I would like the BAT to take only those matching 5 numerals as a reference.

    Thanks

    *Oh Well System.Net.WebClient in .bat problem with download zip file Powershell :eek:hwell:

    Greetings, streetfighter 2.

    I'll give your BAT a try. Thanks so much.

    Greetings, FordGT90Concept!

    Question:

    "So you have a directory containing both random named ZIP files and consistently named TXT files and you want to apply the TXT file naming patern to the ZIP files where the 5-digit numbers match?"

    Answer: Yes

    Question:

    Are there sub-directories?

    Answer: No

    Question:

    "Are all the ZIP file names in that pattern (#####_Example_720p.zip) and all the TXT files in that pattern (RAT_Example_#####_24f_ONO.txt)?"

    Answer: Yes

    Sorry about the terse replies, but your right: "Never assume."

    Greetings, Streetfighter 2

    I'll give your BAT a try. Thanks alot!

    System.Net.WebClient in .bat problem with download zip file Powershell

    Can't open Zip Files


    The icon for the .zip file suggests it doesn't have a program associated with it. Windows does have built-in support for .zip files but something must have happened to that feature. I usually recommend the free 7-Zip for working with compressed files, helps in diagnosing where a problem may lie. I found the file on the 'net, downloaded it and opened fine.
