Hi Feodor,

i've got the following PS command which works great:

on_success:
  - ps: '& ".\NuGet\NuGet Package and Publish.ps1" -Version $env:appveyor_build_version -NuGet "C:\Tools\NuGet\nuget.exe" -feedSource https://www.myget.org/F/openrealestate/api/v2 -apiKey $env:apiKey'

but notice how it's linking to a relative file? i'm hoping to link it to a file on the interwebs. how can I do .. basically.. this ...

on_success:
  - ps: 'iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PureKrome/PushIt/master/NuGet%20Package%20and%20Publish.ps1'))" -Version $env:appveyor_build_version -NuGet "C:\Tools\NuGet\nuget.exe" -feedSource https://www.myget.org/F/openrealestate/api/v2 -apiKey $env:apiKey'

so it's like: run this command with these args .. but .. first, download the command using iex ....

is this possible?

   I remember trying it once, but not sure if that's possible. I think you should download it first to a file then run it with parameters. Another way is passing data through local variables which will be available in the script like there in the second command: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker

   I'm totally happy to dl as a fail using DownloadFile command. Where does that goto? or is there a nice variable i can use to say: $rootFolderOfProject

   It saves to the current directory.

   um, what's the current directory, though? is there a environment var i can use to reference this current dir?

   You can just use ./your_script.ps1

   that didn't work. I ended up having to preprending the full path.

   like this...

   - ps: $destinationPath = $env:appveyor_build_folder + ".\file1.ps1"; (new-object net.webclient).DownloadFile('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PureKrome/PushIt/master/NuGet%20Package%20and%20Publish.ps1', $destinationPath); & $destinationPath -Version $env:appveyor_build_version -NuGet "C:\Tools\NuGet\nuget.exe" -feedSource https://www.myget.org/F/openrealestate/api/v2 -apiKey $env:apiKey -source '.\NuGet\' -destination '.\NuGet\'
