$Interweb = Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE 'downloads\filename.exe'
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://urldownload.exe" -OutFile $Interweb

Currently the above works in PS v2.0 however im trying to run this on machines with a lower version. Is there a way to do this in PS v1.0?

  • All Windows operating systems still supported by Microsoft can run at least PowerShell v2. I strongly recommend upgrading to at least that version instead of trying to work around limitations of v1. – Ansgar Wiechers Feb 02 '17 at 13:17
