Powershell script to un-archive a folder silently in Windows
Let’s continue with our automation scripting tool series. Doing things on windows by using the mouse manually is fun until you run into the need to go to a major OS upgrade and have tons of applications to reinstall. To avoid human errors and save lots of time, you can write a script to pick up your archived applications like tomcat zip files and unarchive it. This powershell scripts shows you how to unarchive a zip file silently.
#Unzip FIle Function
function Expand-ZIPFile($file, $destination)
{
$shell = new-object -com shell.application
$zip = $shell.NameSpace($file)
foreach($item in $zip.items())
{
$shell.Namespace($destination).copyhere($item)
}
}
# Call the function to unzip
$Origin_Zip_File=”C:\Document\Test.zip”
$Destination_Folder=”C:\Document\Test_Unzipped”
Expand-ZIPFile –File $Origin_Zip_File –Destination $Destination_Folder
