I am not familiar with PowerShell and I am struggling at the outset.

My task I want to achieve:

1. Get version number from EXE file.

I know I can get that:

(Get-Item "MeetSchedAssistSetup.exe").VersionInfo.ProductVersionRaw

In the console window it displays:

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
23     0      3      0

2. Open a INI file. I installed the PSIni module but this line fails:

$ini = Get-IniContent version_meetschedassist2.ini

It says:

Get-IniContent : The 'Get-IniContent' command was found in the module 'PsIni', but the module could not be loaded. For
more information, run 'Import-Module PsIni'.
At line:1 char:8
  $ini = Get-IniContent version_meetschedassist2.ini
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Get-IniContent:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
      FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoloadMatchingModule

How do I load the INI?

My task it to update this bit in the INI:

[MeetSchedAssist Update]
LatestVersion=23.03
LatestVersionString=23.0.3

So I want to:

• Open INI
• Extract Version from EXE
• Update the two INI values from the Version
• Save INI

I tried using Import-Module:

Import-Module : File C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PsIni\3.1.3\PsIni.psm1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on
this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.
At line:1 char:1
  Import-Module PsIni
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [Import-Module], PSSecurityException
      FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand

No joy.

Here's a very quick and very dirty way of doing this just as an example:

$exe_info = Get-Item -Path '.\MeetSchedAssistSetup.exe'
$ini_path = '.\version_meetschedassist2.ini'
$ini = Get-IniContent -FilePath $ini_path

$ini['MeetSchedAssist Update']['LatestVersion'] = 
    '{0}.{1}{2}' -f $exe_info.VersionInfo.FileMajorPart, 
                    $exe_info.VersionInfo.FileMinorPart, $exe_info.VersionInfo.FileBuildPart
$ini['MeetSchedAssist Update']['LatestVersionString'] =
    '{0}.{1}.{2}' -f $exe_info.VersionInfo.FileMajorPart, 
                    $exe_info.VersionInfo.FileMinorPart, $exe_info.VersionInfo.FileBuildPart

Out-IniFile -FilePath $ini_path -InputObject $ini -Force

Since Get-IniContent gets saved into memory via $ini, you can replace the values with what you need them to be and pass it back out with Out-IniFile specifying $ini as the -InputObject for it. The values are updated using string concatenating of the version info.
