Nice framework for searching against VARs for any file - thank you!

Booya! an old issue resolved. I lost alot of time trying to isolate the culprit morph through trial / error. This fix works for me. Thank you @mediamac1 !

Hi BP, here's a direct link to what you're looking for. It does as you say - it moves older versions of .VARs, .Zips, etc. It creates a folder in the root of your VAM install, which I call an "iHV recycle bin". It's not the actual Windows recycle bin folder, it's just a subfolder to separate the...

Sorry to hear, I'm glad you made a backup first. There are some scenarios where this can happen. The .RFT guide shows how to use each of the scripts to get what you want. Using them any other will can lead to problems.

Glance through the .RFT document for guicance on how to setup the scripts. If you're interested in anything, it's likely the RationializeVARversions.ps1. Just drop that in the root of your VAM folder and it will build a recycle folder and move any legacy VARs into it. The other scripts are for...

If you search the script for either < or >, you'll see that neither appear. The content in the error looks like file content, which is odd since the script doesn't open any files - it enumates through file names only. And you can't have < or > in a file name . If you're open to it, would you...

"Dealing with VARs instead of extracted files is a right direction to go in my opinion. I don't know if it is possible to deal with VARs in an effective way using powerscript though. If it is, I would love to see it." Most agree with you. I'd only meant to make you aware of the...

Using RationalizeVarVersions.ps1 doesn't alter the VARs themselves, so yes using it to prune files then managing the remaing later using another tool will be "safe" - assuming the other tool is stable.

Sorry about that. These problems can be "onions" with layers to work through. Try upgrading your version of Powershell: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.1#msi. Also, check out the other requirements in the .RTF file.

Hey, I'd been working on something similar this past year. Open source, script version: https://github.com/BoominBobbyBo/iHV
