Can't extract zip with powerhell

I need to update 100+ servers to the latest VBR patches, I wrote a script for that, it's working OK until it gets to the part of extracting the file, it says that it extracted the file but when I try to run it I got storage errors, than I tried to extract it only with the expand-archive outside of the script, I receive the same strange error

Here is the code:

#$VeeamVersion = Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\Software\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty DisplayVersion
$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$VeeamVersion = (Get-Item 'C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\Packages\VeeamDeploymentDll.dll').VersionInfo |select -ExpandProperty FileVersion

if ($VeeamVersion -eq "11.0.1.1261") {
    Write-Host "Veeam Backup and Replication version 11.0.1.1261 is installed on your PC"
    $DownloadUrl = "https://download2.veeam.com/VBR/v11/VeeamBackup&Replication_11.0.1.1261_20230227.zip"
} elseif ($VeeamVersion -eq "12.0.0.1420") {
    Write-Host "Veeam Backup and Replication version 12.0.0.1420 is installed on your PC"
    $DownloadUrl = "https://download2.veeam.com/VBR/v12/VeeamBackup&Replication_12.0.0.1420_20230412.zip"
} else {
    Write-Host "Neither Veeam Backup and Replication version 11.0.1.1261 nor version 12.0.0.1420 is installed on your PC"
}

if ($DownloadUrl) {
    New-Item -Path d:\ -name "veeam_update" -ItemType "Directory"
    $DownloadPath = "d:\Veaam_update"

    if (Test-Path "$DownloadPath\veeam*.zip") {
        Write-Host "Veeam Backup and Replication is already downloaded"
    } else {
        Write-Host "Downloading Veeam Backup and Replication..."
        Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $DownloadUrl -OutFile "$DownloadPath\veeam.zip"
        Expand-Archive -LiteralPath "$DownloadPath\veeam.zip" -DestinationPath "$DownloadPath"
        Write-Host "Veeam Backup and Replication downloaded successfully"
    }

    Write-Host "Installing Veeam Backup and Replication silently..."
    #Start-Process "D:\Veaam_update\*.exe" -ArgumentList "/S" -Wait
    Write-Host "Veeam Backup and Replication installed successfully"
}

here is the error:

Exception calling "ExtractToFile" with "3" argument(s): "The archive entry was compressed using an unsupported compression method."

Solution

  • I was able to fix the issue, here is the fixed and working code:

    This code will do:

    1. Check if Veeam is running.
    2. Check if you have 7zip installed
    3. Check which version of Veeam Backup And replication you have - and will download the updated according to the version.
    4. It will then create a new folder named "veeam_update" on drive d:
    5. The file will be downloaded to that folder.
    6. Using 7zip it will extract the zip file to the same folder
    7. It will run the installation silently
    8. It will update components of Veeam

    Enjoy.
