@Glennmartyn I have now updated the instructions to clarify how to prepare your PowerShell terminal for SSL/TLS Invoke-WebRequest. Please notice that I have merely implemented one of the solutions provided in this StackExchange discussion.
I now instruct people to preface the Invoke-Webrequest command with the code
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = "tls12, tls11, tls"
This allows PowerShell to communicate along secure HTTPS channels.
@Drout I have now updated the script to be flexible to other versions of Adobe Photoshop. Good suggestion.
@mavaddat: thank you so so much........I had the problem titled "exception access violation" in CC 2018 version while trying to apply a function on a 'duplicate layer' of a photo........after creating this DWORD value now it's accessing about 1000MB in RAM and it's running with no error..........wish you good luck brother 👍
Script should be flexible to handle older versions as well, not just the latest. The same registry settings applies.
