PowerShell :: Internet Explorer download dialog Num Lock On

Question

I'm using PowerShell to scrape the web and I'm trying to bypass the download dialog of Internet Explorer.

Everywhere in the internet (example 1, example 2) I find this code:

$wshell = new-object -com wscript.shell
$wshell.appactivate("Save As")
$wshell.sendkeys("%s")
$wshell.sendkeys("{Enter}")

but when I try to execute it just set the Num Lock On:

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Not sure why but I fixed by using

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("%s")

( Send Keys in Powershell alt+n {TAB} {ENTER} )
