OWA Did not extract

[beldara]

First, great script system! Everything downloaded aok. Got an error extracting OWA CU path files. Could not find the file or path, line 702: char 13. Sept 2016 CU for OWA (SharePoint 2013).

Any help or workarounds appreciated. Thank you!

Same issue here, I guess.
OOS 2019, October 2021 patch.
Script version 2.0.3.0.

The issue is with a logic that was applicable for early OWA 2013 and 2010 patches, which were ZIP files with EXE extension. The script simply adds .ZIP extension and then runs a custom Expand-Zip function on it.
Expand-Zip function fails to extract anything, because the file is not a proper ZIP archive, and it fails silently.
Then, on the next step script tries to slipstream content of patch file into OOS installation folder. This fails with error mentioned by @beldara, except it's now at line 951 char:13. It tries to extract from .EXE patch file, but the file has .ZIP extension at this point.

Solution, I guess, would be to treat OWA 2013 patches after August 2014 and all 2016/2019 differently - there is no need to work with ZIP in this case. OWA 2010 is a bit more tricky since MS didn't just stop releasing "ZIP-renamed-to-EXE" files after certain patch.

edit1: I realized this mess applies to OWA 2010 as well.

Pull request #11 has a fix for this. @brianlala, do you think you can review and merge it anytime soon?

It will take me some time to review as the original PR is over 5 years old now and code has changed significantly since then (I can't even do a compare because it thinks the .ps1 is a binary file). I'm on vacation currently and will revisit next week.
