How to unzip in Powershell
07 February,2019 by Tom Collins
Question: I have a zip file , which I normally win-zip or unzip . I'd like to unzip an archive file as part of a Powershell script
Answer: You can use the Powershell cmdlet - Expand-Archive . I've also included some added bits around the ps cmdlet Expand-Archive , which will assist in managing access & file clean up .
# Unblock if there's a block – common problem
Unblock-File test.zip -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
#the actual expand process
Expand-Archive -Path test.zip -DestinationPath e:\exsample\sql_server\modules -Force
#to remove your zip file
Remove-Item -Path test.zip
