Adding handy Powershell script to apply the mod on Windows

[tevert]

Works for Windows 10, Slack 3.0.5. Automatically checks installation directory for the latest present version and applies the mod to that.

Did not work, I get this.

Windows 10, Slack 3.0.5.

Huh, weird - did you override your HOMEPATH environment variable? It uses that to locate your Slack installs; it should be set to "\Users\YourUsername" on Windows machines.

I think my HOMEPATH is already set to that. Here is what PowerShell shows.

Is there another command I should be using?

[tevert]

Try echo $env:HOMEPATH

[suyasha0]

I get "\Users\MyUsername".

[tevert]

Oh I see now I was looking in the wrong place for that error - this script looks for Slack versions in \Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\slack\ - can you dir that directory?

[suyasha0]

I see- I did that and I realize that I don't have the files there. Is this normal?

[tevert]

That's where Slack installed itself on my machine - Apparently yours put itself somewhere else.

I think I'll need to rework the script to use a registry key or something to find it. For curiosity's sake, did yours end up Program Files or did you pick a whole new location?

Couldn't find it and had to reinstall Slack. Now it works though, thanks!

Change this to $env:LocalAppData\Slack - as will this will resolve the Slack path correctly
