Powershell - Continue a script after exiting an application

Question

I'm quite new to Powershell. To be able to run a certain program I need to disable a device. This was not to hard, I created the following:

$DeviceID = (Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName "*Devicename*").InstanceId
Disable-PnpDevice "$DeviceID" -Confirm:$false
& 'path\file.exe'

So far so good. But now I want to Enable the device after I exit the program. How do I make the script see that I end the program?

Answer 1

Try trapping the result:

& 'path\file.exe' 2>&1

Then test for the exit code which should be held in the environment variable

$LASTEXITCODE
