Get-RemoteFiles

NAME

Get-RemoteFiles

SYNOPSIS

Get Latest URL32 and/or URL64 into tools directory.

SYNTAX

Get-RemoteFiles [-Purge] [-NoSuffix] [[-FileNameBase] <String>] [[-FileNameSkip] <Int32>] [[-Algorithm] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This function will download the binaries pointed to by $Latest.URL32 and $Latest.URL64.
The function is used to embed binaries into the Chocolatey package.

The function will keep original remote file name but it will add suffix _x32 or _x64.
This is intentional because you can use those to match particular installer via wildcards,
e.g. `gi *_x32.exe`.
