Powershell script to run an exe, pass arguments and redirect output

How to write a Powershell script to run an exe program and preserve the output

Create a Powershell script and setup the arguments it will receive as parameters to the script. Using the parameters, create a string to pass to the exe.

Create a ProcessStartInfo and set the options as follows.

Run the exe and wait for it to finish. The standard output of the exe will be passed back to the Powershell script to be displayed as output.

param(
    [string] $a,
    [string] $b,
    [string] $c )

$myArgs = '-a ' + $a + ' -b ' + $b + ' -c ' + $c

$psi = New-object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo

$psi.CreateNoWindow = $true
$psi.UseShellExecute = $false
$psi.RedirectStandardOutput = $true
$psi.RedirectStandardError = $true
$psi.FileName = 'MyProgramToRun.exe'
$psi.Arguments = $myArgs
$psi.WorkingDirectory = 'C:\workingdir'
$psi.LoadUserProfile = $true

$process = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process
$process.StartInfo = $psi

[void]$process.Start()

$output = $process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
$process.WaitForExit()
$output
