PowerShell: GoodSync Installer/Updater, Service Disabler and Cleanup

I use GoodSync for file synchronization a lot. While a awesome program, there are two major issues I find with it – the lack of a auto-update mechanism and the GoodSync Server service which is auto-enabled each time you update and I personally don’t use. So I created a PowerShell script to take care of all that. Downloading the msi, initiating the install/update, stopping and disabling the GoodSync Server services and cleaning up the temporary files and desktop icons. Enjoy!

# GoodSync All
# This script is designed to install or update Goodsync, stop and disable services (GoodSync Server) and clean up desktop icons.
# Designed for GoodSync 10.x

# Checks for Administrator privileges and opens an elevated prompt is user has Administrator rights
If (-NOT ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator"))
{   
    $arguments = "& '" + $myinvocation.mycommand.definition + "'"
    Start-Process powershell -Verb runAs -ArgumentList $arguments
    Break
}

# Checks for Service Status

if ($sstat.status -eq "running"){
    write-output "Stopping GoodSync Server"
    stop-service gsserver
    "Service is stopped"
    "Continuing....."
    ""
    }

    write-output "Setting GoodSync Server service to Disabled"
    set-service gsserver -startuptype disabled
