UAM: Shell Apps "Unzip" functionality in multi-version mode

Avatar
Carsten Marquardt

The "Unzip" feature is currently not supported in multi-version mode.

Can you please provide a forecast as to when it will be available in multi-version mode?

Also, I would expect the global variable $Context.GetAttachedBinary() to point to the extracted folder, not the individual installation file.

Hi Carsten Marquardt, thanks for this. There were specific issues with multi-version unzip which made the function problematic to implement. I will speak with the dev team to understand the exact details and see if this is now unblocked. 

Regarding $Context.GetAttachedBinary(), as described below, the context is set to the target folder of the extraction, so you can make use of relative paths for any reads from the folder or argument lists etc.

Note: This option was initially introduced specifically for SCCM PowerShell applications import support. If selected, your zip file is extracted into a temporary folder and the context is set to that folder. Therefore, you are able to use the files from the archive directly. The same behavior can be achieved by using the following chain: $Context.GetAttachedBinary() -> Expand-Archive -> Set-Location.
