Hello! I've made a powershell script that will check .version files and optionally download the new version. The script unfortunately is not currently signed, run get-help about_Execution_Policies in powershell and read the output to determine your solution. Most likely you'll need to do a Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned or create a bat file to run the script and pass -ExecutionPolicy to powershell.exe. Features: Checks the version files and provides the URL to download the latest. Optionally can download the update. By default to you your downloads directory, but is configurable on the command. Currently only spacedock.info and curseforge.com are supported. Can start KSP if you want, if specified, it'll start the 64-bit version on 64-bit windows. Todo: Add downloading from github.com. Add AVC support. Add better help. Get a signing cert. Detect non-steam clients. License: GPLv3 Download: GitHub Usage: Supports tab completion, so typing in "avc-cli.ps1 -" and hitting tab will list the available parameters. Eventually, running get-help avc-cli.ps1 will display the information below. AVC-CLI.ps1 Checks for new versions, notifies you if there's a newer version, and provides the download URL. You'll have to copy/paste the URL(s). AVC-CLI.ps1 -Download Downloads the updates to your downloads directory. AVC-CLI.ps1 -Download -DownloadPath D:\Temp Downloads to where you want. Needs to be a folder, or you'll get an error. AVC-CLI.ps1 -StartKSP Starts Kerbal Space Program when done. Starts 32-bit on 32-bit windows, 64-bit on 64-bit windows. AVC-CLI.ps1 -DisplayJSONErrors Badly named, but displays errors related to why the checking failed. In the image below, the reason the USITools.version failed is due to a 404, using this option you'd see that. The reason the EL.version failed, is due to non-standard JSON formating, you can't do "name":}, you must have a value. Displaying the errors wouldn't tell you that, you'll just get Error: Invalid JSON primitive: ., and a dump of the raw JSON data that failed to parse. Image: Changes: 0.1 - Initial Relase 0.1.1 - Fixed StartKSP x64-bit detection. 0.1.2 - Fixed downloading only from Spacedock.info for now, displays the URL if not spacedock. 0.2 - If downloading, and it finds a kerbalstuff.com link, it'll search spacedock.info for the mod. 0.2.1 - Moved the search code to it's own function. 0.3 - Adding downloading from Curseforge.com, made downloading from spacedock.info better, fixed illegal file names when trying to write the zip. Let me know if you run into any issues, or have suggestions! Thanks
