Start-PSDownloadPackage

Description

Triggers the download of the package’s kit folder from CiBaseAgent, then polls the download progress once per second, logging it, until it reaches 100%.

Note

This is part of the fixed #### MAIN #### scaffolding — it’s called automatically as if ($global:DownloadPackage -and $global:InputObject) { Start-PSDownloadPackage }, right after PreInstall and before Install runs. You don’t call this yourself; whether it runs at all is controlled by the $global:DownloadPackage variable in the #### VARIABLES #### block (see the script templates).

Syntax

Start-PSDownloadPackage

Parameters

None. Uses the script-scoped $InputObject, $cs and $AppName variables — it only does anything when $InputObject (the Named Pipe connection to CiBaseAgent, see PowerPack Global Variables) is present.

Return value

None. If the download fails, the whole script is terminated via Exit-PSScript 3322.

Example

• PowerShell

# From the MAIN section of the script template — shown for reference only:
PreInstall
if ($global:DownloadPackage -and $global:InputObject) { Start-PSDownloadPackage }
Install
