    (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile(
        "https://repos.passwork.pro/repository/powershell/PassworkModule.zip", 
        "$pwd\PassworkModule.zip"
    )
    Write-Host "Module successfully downloaded" -ForegroundColor Green
} else {
    Write-Host "Module archive already exists" -ForegroundColor Red
}

info

In case of errors, the archive can be downloaded manually: https://repos.passwork.pro/repository/windows-powershell/PassworkModule.zip

Extract the PowerShell module:

PowerShell

# Get the location of PowerShell modules 
$windowsModulePaths = $env:PSModulePath -split ";" | Where-Object { $_ -like "C:\Windows*" }

# Extract the PowerShell module to the directory
Expand-Archive `
    -Path "$pwd\PassworkModule.zip" `
    -DestinationPath $windowsModulePaths -Force

# Remove the PassworkModule.zip archive
Remove-Item "$pwd\PassworkModule.zip"

Migration

Description

Migration will collect and record information about the used components into a separate file, remove the Passwork installer, and add the ability to use administration functions.

Launching migration process

Start the migration:

PowerShell

Set-Passwork-PowerShell

Actions performed

1. Processing PassworkSetup.exe
2. Processing the Passwork website
3. Retrieving the used Passwork version
4. Checking the certificate
5. Processing PHP
6. Processing MongoDB
7. Processing Shortcuts in the Start menu and links on the Desktop

The script will create the file C:\inetpub\.passwork_component, which contains details needed for the correct operation of the PowerShell module:
