Cannot find output Start-FileDownload when using -FileName

When I use -FileName, I cannot find the output file in the current directory. If I use:

-ps: Start-FileDownload "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/emacs-bin/releases/emacs-24.4.1-bin%28i686-pc-mingw32%29.7z"
-cmd: dir

Then 'emacs-24.4.1-bin%28i686-pc-mingw32%29.7z' appears in the output of 'dir'.

If I use

-ps: Start-FileDownload "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/emacs-bin/releases/emacs-24.4.1-bin%28i686-pc-mingw32%29.7z" -FileName "emacs-bin.7z"
-cmd: dir

Then 'emacs-bin.7z' is nowhere to be seen.

  1. By the way, you can see this behaviour in this build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rneatherway/fsharpbinding/build/1.0.186

  2. Thanks for reporting that. The issue has been found and fixed. Will deploy with the next update.

  3. Thanks!

  4. Fix has been deployed.
