New Features Added 1. Tool Integrity Verification Function Added Test-ToolIntegrity() function that: Checks 8 key tools for minimum expected file sizes Detects suspiciously small files (corrupted downloads) Validates .exe extension Has optional digital signature verification (commented out for speed) Provides launcher-aware recommendations for re-download Asks user permission to continue if issues found 2. Integrated into Initialize-Environment The function now: Checks for folder existence Counts available tools Runs integrity verification (new!) Only proceeds if all checks pass 3. Launcher Awareness Working Detects $env:SYSTESTER_LAUNCHER variable Provides contextual messages based on how script was launched Guides users to Option 6 when appropriate

Set SYSTESTER_LAUNCHER=2.0 before launching PowerShell Clear the variable after execution Apply to both INTERACTIVE and AUTORUN sections
v2.1 update with some bug and code fixes
All Critical Fixes Present: ✅ Fast path length calculation via PowerShell (line 96) ✅ Signature verification with blocking on failure (lines 541-546, exit code 2) ✅ ZIP cleanup on all error paths (lines 486, 507, 543, 547) ✅ Helper functions :SAFE_TIMEOUT and :SAFE_PAUSE (lines 833-855) All Medium Priority Fixes: ✅ Constants defined at top (lines 12-14) ✅ Reduced download timeout to 120 seconds (line 13) ✅ Tool counting after extraction (lines 572-593) ✅ Signature prompts require user confirmation (line 541) All Minor Improvements: ✅ Version in title and menu (lines 71, 154) ✅ Helper functions called consistently throughout ✅ Updated help text with v2.2 features (lines 720-726) ✅ Better error messages with specific guidance
1. Launcher Awareness and Better Messaging Your PowerShell script (SystemTester.ps1) includes both Test-Launcher and the Initialize-Environment function, which works together to provide better diagnostics and guidance. Launcher Awareness: The Test-Launcher function sets the global variable $script:LaunchedViaBatch when the script detects it was called by cmd.exe. This flag is used in the final report generation for better logging. Better Integration Messages: The Initialize-Environment function immediately checks for the /Sysinternals folder. If tools are missing, it prints a clear message directing the user to Menu Option 6 for auto-download, preventing user confusion. 2. Tool Integrity Verification (Option 5) This functionality is handled by the Test-ToolIntegrity and Test-ToolVerification functions in the PowerShell script. Integrity Check: The Test-ToolIntegrity function performs file size checks and uses Get-AuthenticodeSignature to verify that key executables (like psinfo.exe or sigcheck.exe) are genuinely signed by Microsoft. Execution: When you select Option 5 in the Batch file, it runs the following command, which loads the functions and executes the check cleanly: Bash powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "$script:ExternalCall = $true; . '%SCRIPT_PS1%' ; Test-ToolVerification ; Write-Host 'Verification complete...'; $null=Read-Host" 3. Auto-Download Feature (Option 6) The stability fix you just confirmed directly involves the auto-download feature, which is contained entirely within the PowerShell script. Download Logic: The Download-SysinternalsSuite function uses Invoke-WebRequest and ZipFile::ExtractToDirectory to automatically download the official Sysinternals suite, extract it to the correct folder, and clean up the temporary ZIP file. Stable Execution: The Batch file now executes this function reliably using the dot-sourcing method, bypassing the crash-prone execution paths:
