myob_ar_updater's Issues

"Invoke-WebRequest - The Request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel"

$response = wget $clienturl -ErrorAction Stop

Returns result of request being aborted on servers that do not use TLS 1.2+ or higher by default.

Handle situation where no current version is installed.

Uninstall old versions

MYOB only officially supports the latest two versions of MYOB AccountRight, we should add optional switch to uninstall old versions.

Clean-up old log files after successful installation

Option to uninstall old versions is removing unrelated software

Incorrectly detects 2023.9 as most recent version when 2023.10 is installed

# Get the current version
$InstalledApps = Get-ChildItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MYOB\AccountRight Client" | Get-ItemProperty |select PSChildName

Can return

PSChildName

2023.10
2023.8
2023.9

Which

$current = ($installedApps | Measure-Object -Property PSChildName -Maximum).maximum

Will incorrectly report that 2023.9 is the most recent version

Initial download attempt fails on systems without Internet Explorer

PS>TerminatingError(Invoke-WebRequest): "The response content cannot be parsed because the Internet Explorer engine is not available, or Internet Explorer's first-launch configuration is not complete. Specify the UseBasicParsing parameter and try again. "

Add optional command line switch to not delete the public desktop shortcut

Improve logging explanation of failed download "The remote server returned an error: (403"

This status indicates that the expected / tested for MSI version is not yet available for public download, or has not been uploaded yet,

log currently reads

Transcript started, output file is C:\_Scripts\MYOB_AR_Updater\Install-MYOB-AR-Client.log Latest Installed Version: 2023.8 PS>TerminatingError(Invoke-WebRequest): "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden." Already Installed, nothing to do..

Would be better to do something like

Transcript started, output file is C:\_Scripts\MYOB_AR_Updater\Install-MYOB-AR-Client.log Latest Installed Version: 2023.8 Checking if next version (2023.9) is available for download yet Not yet available, latest version is still 2023.8, nothing to do..

Need to ensure we only suppress the result if it is "(403) forbidden", anything else indicates a separate issue that we want to know about.
