When I execute 2 specific powershell scripts in VC I get

System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: The response content cannot be parsed because the Internet Explorer engine is not available, or Internet Explorer's first-launch configuration is not complete. Specify the UseBasicParsing parameter and try again. ---> System.NotSupportedException: The response content cannot be parsed because the Internet Explorer engine is not available, or Internet Explorer's first-launch configuration is not complete.

But both scripts execute without issue in powershell and powershell ISE. I also run 7 other powershell scripts in VC without issues. Why would VC error out when the scripts execute without issue outside of VC?

Edit: It appears that the script isn't even executing long enough to get past the very first wget in the script because I added a start-sleep -s 10 right after it.

Try the UseBasicParsing flag:

There are differencies between the PowerShell host that VisualCron (.NET) uses and normal.

I initially tried UseBasicParsing; I probably should have stated that too. It didn't work the first few times I tried it, but I figured out why and I have put it in all the places it needs to be and it seems to be working now. The odd thing is there are only 2 out of like 10 scripts that need this flag and it has only been the case since I loaded 8.2.9

Thank you for the response, I appreciate the help.

It is most likely because the IE dependency and that it is the first time it launches under that profile. The setting causes automatic compatiblity settings.
