prepare.ps1 is not digitally signed #23

Thank you for your pretty awesome work -- it's amazing!

When running this on the current (for now) version of Windows 10 (May 2019), I get the following error:

_prepare.ps1 is not digitally signed. You cannot run this script on the current system. For more information about running scripts and setting execution policy, see about_ExecutionPolicies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.

The workaround is pretty simple. In the same (elevated) PS prompt, simply run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

... and then answer the prompt that yes, you really do want to do this.

Hey @DaveTheBatMan ,

One of the first few lines of my script is;

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force

In saying that, it would probably be easier if people didn't have to see the prompt.

I think I'll just put something to copy and paste in the readme so people have to avoid seeing this in the future, thanks!

Hey @Francommit,

At the outset, I again thank you for your efforts -- not many people, nowadays, who'd do such a thing. :-)

Regarding your note: Yes, the first two lines of your script are a comment and then the "Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force" command, which is all good stuff. However, in my situation, this was a chicken-and-the-egg proposition -- the Set is inside the script, but I can't run the script until the Set is done.

From what I can tell, if someone's machine has (already) been (permanently) set to bypass (which can be checked with "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List"), then their LocalMachine setting will reflect that, and they can simply run the script as-desired. However, if the setting is (default) "Restricted" (and possibly others), then you get what I got:

win10_emulation_station-master-PS_Security

Obviously, not everyone is going to have this issue, but I simply thought it worth noting to those who do.

On a different note, is there any way to have the script display any type of progress indicator? While it was doing all of its downloads, I never had any indication how far along it was in its total downloads; while it told me it was getting a certain file, I had no way of knowing if that file was the first of eight or the first of eight thousand. Just a thought.

Thanks again -- have a great Saturday!

Dave

Hey @DaveTheBatMan ,

Updated the readme.md, instructions seem clear and concise?

Thanks for pointing it out!

Hey @Francommit --

Happy Sunday (and every day)!
