    I keep getting Error Occurred when trying to download the latest version. Does it with Powershell and the CMD prompt...
    And in the CMD case. It kills the cmd prompt screen. With Powershell, it just comes back with its command prompt..

    And with this method of download, where does the rar file go???

    I was getting the same issue with error popping up.

    On another laptop I got it to initiate the download and said that the RAR file was placed on the desktop. -could not find the RAR file and don't think anything was actually downloaded

    Yeah I got that on a different computer but could not actually "find" the generated file. As if it doesn't generate anything.

    the timing of the auto-renew can be changed,
    currently, it is every 7 days, at 7 PM.
    if someone doesn't like the timing, let me know :D

    Yeah. I know it sounds dumb and I know how to check files/desktop. The issue is I ran it multiple times and there was nothing actually put on the desktop. It seems to be working now as it seems like the script was fixed

    well its my bad ..
    but PS its not easy language,
    and it work different in other system
    so make it 'universal' its damn hard.

    I think this solved all problems
    if anyone have other suggestion, tell me.
    Code:
    $DesktopPath = [Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop")
    $OfficeDownloadFile = Join-Path -Path $DesktopPath -ChildPath 'OfficeRTool.RAR'
    
    Or I will moved it to C:\Downloads
    depend on complains ….

    Yeah sorry to complain. It still does not seem to generate the file on the desktop? I am not sure if it just a me problem or if im genuinely blind.
    If somebody could test it and let me know if they are also having trouble with the file placement?

    I managed to get the file earlier from Dark Dinosaur so no issues. I just want to make sure that the script is working for everyone else and making sure it actually places on the desktop.
    Would C:\Downloads be easier?

    Thx. This worked just fine. I guess it should have been in the C:\ instead of the default directory in PS..
