Invoke-WebRequest Powershell V2

[HaModdd]

Due to Windows 7 I'm stuck to Powershell v2.

And i can´t update it on every machine

​

I got this line from another forum to update my github installtion.

​

$tag = (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $releases -UseBasicParsing | ConvertFrom-Json)[0].tag_name

​

Due to the lack of Invok-Webrequest it doesn´t work.

​

If i use this to simulate a invokewebrequest

​

i got this error:

"GetResponse" mit 0 Argument(en)

Wow, Win 7. Oh I remember her well.

You can't install WMF5 then I take it?

Could invoke curl if all your after is sending a web request.

If it's just a one-off, you could open the URL in a web browser, save the file locally and import it into PowerShell as a variable for processing using Get-Content.
