Execute “real life” command line from variable in Powershell

Question

When I for example read some uninstall string from the registry like \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Opera\\Launcher.exe\" /uninstall I can copy it to the Powershell

Answer 1

I think Bill Stewart's answer is the right way to do it. If for some reason you can't get Bill's answer to work you could use Invoke-Expression to do it though.

$var = '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\Launcher.exe" /uninstall'
Invoke-Expression "& $var"
