Hello,
I'm trying to parse and download BIOS updates from Dell, when I run the script on a Dell OptiPlex 7080 I get the following error. Message: Cannot convert 'System.Object[]' to the type 'System.Uri' required by parameter 'Uri'. Specified method is not supported.
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri'https://downloads.dell.com/Catalog/DellSDPCatalogPC.cab' -OutFile $CabPath -Verbose
[int32]$n=1
While(!(Test-Path $CabPath) -and $n -lt '3'){
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri'https://downloads.dell.com/Catalog/DellSDPCatalogPC.cab' -OutFile $CabPath -Verbose
$n++
}
Any help would be appreciated!
Best regards

Trying to run your code (as posted) yields a different error!
Invoke-WebRequest : The remote name could not be resolved: '-urihttps'
It's important that the code you post is the code that yields the error you post!
Thanks! I'm sorry, I'm not getting this or how to solve this, can I kindly ask you for some assistance on how to write this?
Can you just reference the first item that you found?
$TargetLink = $Target.InstallableItem.OriginFile.OriginUri
if ($TargetLink.count -gt 1) {
$TargetLink = $TargetLink[0]
}
Thank you! The script downloads all BIOS into one file "OptiPlex_7080_1.15.0.exe OptiPlex_7080_1.16.0.exe OptiPlex_7080_1.13.0.exe OptiPlex_7080_1.14.0.exe" and it installs version 1.15
in the XML file, BIOS versions come in this order:
Line: 12196 - 15
Line: 27559 - 16
Line: 265734 - 13
Line: 409187 - 14
I managed to identify the SystemTypeID, which is 2468.
Do NOT depend on the order in which version comes first in the XML file. That may change at some future date which will leave you scratching your head as to why the wrong BIOS was installed!
