"-Execute" - Problem

[noddcrack]

Hello!

I´ve recently used this powershell command and I wanted to let you know that there is a problem with the text.

I´ve copy-pasted the commands I needed in order to build my script. When I wanted to test my script in a VM (Virtual Machine), it didn´t run until I changed something inside the script and saved it.

The problem was the "-" before Execute. The dash is a En-Dash (Decimal Unicode 8211) and Powershell wasn´t able to read it. I fixed the problem by using an extension in Visual Studio Code called Highlight Bad Chars to look up where it appeared and change it with a normal one. Almost every time the dash was before "Execute" parameter.

I wanted to let you know that inside your script is a little spell-problem so that you can change it. It took me one whole week to find the source the problem why my script couldn´t run until it had been saved. I hope I could help others save some time! :)

Kind regards

Noddcrack
