If the linked pages change, my answer will become invalid due to Microsoft changing the syntax, deprecating the cmdlet etc... If anything, the Microsoft link is the source of truth. – spikey_richie – 2018-09-12T19:38:48.217

Thank you for trying, but PowerShell is not a viable solution, as EXE's created are dependant on too many factors ( OS version, Powershell version, .NET version etc... ) and therefore can not be relied upon for any given situation. Any other suggestions? – Erik Tangen – 2018-09-14T11:19:01.070
