I am trying to get a powershell script that I can call with one (or two) params.

Ideally I would like to pass only one paramter, the $Url and expect the script to figure out the filename and then download to that filename.

IF it does not figure out a filename, I can optionally pass a second parameter the $FolderPath

# get-FileFromUri.ps1
function get-FileFromUri {

this code stumbles over the $Path being invalid , because some Uninstall entries contain characters that aren't valid in a file path, but are perfectly valid inside the regisry.

What are MS GUIDs and howto deal with them. (both on windows and unix/linux)

They look ugly like this {BFEAB774-C7DC-4032-B05A-DA5F7CB7B365} and are basically globally unique identifiers.

The MS msi installer uses a GUID to uniquely identify a software or module.
