Follow-up on downloading Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) 8.1 (September 2014)

I proposed last year two scripts to download the latest Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) files using BITS and PowerShell šŸ™‚

Today is April 8, 2014 and it’s the perfect time to update the script.

But let’s first see how I built the DATA blocks in the function.

I first launched the webinstaller of the ADK and told him to download files into C:\ADK.
Then I used PowerShell to extract the DATA using the following code.

# First test the regular expression with the built-in select-string cmdlet
Get-Content 'C:\adk\Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit for Windows 8.1_20140403114657.log' | 
Select-String -Pattern "Acquiring\spackage:\s(?<Name1>.*),\spayload:\s(?<Name2>.*),\sdownload\sfrom:\s(?<URL>.*)$"

# Extract URL and file names from the log file and send it through the pipeline
$ADKFiles = (
Get-Content "C:\adk\Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit for Windows 8.1_20140403114657.log" -ReadCount 1 | ForEach-Object {
    ([regex]'Acquiring\spackage:\s(?<Name1>.*),\spayload:\s(?<Name2>.*),\sdownload\sfrom:\s(?<URL>.*)$').Matches($_) | ForEach-Object {
        [PSCustomObject]@{
            URL = @($_.Groups)[-1].Value ;
            FileName = ([URI]@($_.Groups)[-1].Value).Segments[-1] -replace '%20'," "
        }
    }
}
)

# Let me know how many files are downloaded
Write-Verbose -Message ("There are {0} files in the ADK toolkit to download" -f $Adkfiles.Count) -Verbose

Write-Verbose -Message (
    "There are {0} files in the ADK toolkit from ../adk/Installers" -f ($Adkfiles| Where URL -match "adk/Installers/").Count
) -Verbose

Write-Verbose -Message (
    "There are {0} files in the ADK toolkit from ../adk/Patches" -f ($Adkfiles| Where URL -notmatch "adk/Installers/").Count
) -Verbose

# Construct the first DATA block
$count = 0
($Adkfiles| Where URL -match "adk/Installers/") | ForEach-Object {
 '{0}={1}' -f $count,$_.FileName
    $count++
}
# Construct the second DATA block
$count = 0
($Adkfiles| Where URL -notmatch "adk/Installers/") | ForEach-Object {
 '{0}={1}' -f $count,$_.FileName
    $count++
}


Then I copied the console output you can see above into the appropriate DATA blocks and updated manually the version string from 8.100.26020 to 8.100.26629

#Requires -Version 4
#Requires -RunAsAdministrator 
  
Function Get-ADKFiles {
[CmdletBinding()]    
param(
    [parameter(Mandatory)]
    [system.string]$TargetFolder
)
Begin {
    $HT = @{}
    $HT += @{ ErrorAction = 'Stop'}
    # Validate target folder
    try {
        Get-Item $TargetFolder @HT | Out-Null
    } catch {
        Write-Warning -Message "The target folder specified as parameter does not exist"
        break
    }
}
  
Process {
    $adkGenericURL = (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=313081 -MaximumRedirection 0 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)

  
    # 302 = redirect as moved temporarily
    if ($adkGenericURL.StatusCode -eq 302) {
      
        # Currently set to http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/A/E/6AEA92B0-A412-4622-983E-5B305D2EBE56/adk/
        $MainURL = $adkGenericURL.Headers.Location
