2nd line from below |
For ($i = 0 ; $i -le $error.Count ; $i ++)
-le should be -lt beacause an extra `nerror $i line appears.
Note from the Author or Editor:
On Page 14, in the text for the UpdateHelpTrackErrors.ps1 script, the following line of code:
For ($i = 0 ; $i -le $error.Count ; $i ++)
Should be changed to:
For ($i = 0 ; $i -lt $error.Count ; $i ++) |

Testing for a registry key property prior to writing a new value |
was:
if(Get-ItemProperty HKCU:\Software\test -Name bogus -ea 0).bogus)
{'Propertyalready exists'}
ELSE { Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Software\test -Name bogus -Value 'initial value'}
should be:
if((Get-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Software\test -Name bogus -ea 0).bogus)
{'Propertyalready exists'}
ELSE { Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Software\test -Name bogus -Value 'initial value'}
change:
added second ( to if
added -path after get-itemproperty
Note from the Author or Editor:
On page 97 this code appears:
if(Get-ItemProperty HKCU:\Software\test -Name bogus -ea 0).bogus)
{'Propertyalready exists'}
ELSE { Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Software\test -Name bogus -Value 'initial value'}
The first line is missing a left parenthesis after the word if. The corrected code appears here:
if((Get-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Software\test -Name bogus -ea 0).bogus)
{'Propertyalready exists'}
ELSE { Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Software\test -Name bogus -Value 'initial value'} |
