Powershell parsing local HTML file

Im trying to iterate through multiple HTML files in multiple computers.

My code is below:

ForEach ($system in (Get-Content C:\temp\computers.txt)) {

    $folder = "\\$system\c`$\ProgramData\Autodesk\AdLM\"
    Get-ChildItem $folder *.html  |
    Foreach-Object {
        $c = $_.BaseName
        $html = New-Object -ComObject "HTMLFile"
        $HTML.IHTMLDocument2_write($(Get-content $_.Name -Raw ))
        $para1 = $HTML.getElementById('para1') | % InnerText
        Add-Content -path c:\temp\results.csv "$c,$system,$para1"
    }
 }

I'm getting the following error:

New-Object : Cannot find parameter Raw

You can use the Internet Explorer COM object to do what you'd like the HTMLFile COM object to do. HTMLFile isn't working 100% in all versions of Powershell, so this is a viable alternative.

ForEach ($system in (Get-Content C:\temp\computers.txt)) {
  $folder = "\\$system\c`$\ProgramData\Autodesk\AdLM\"
  Get-ChildItem $folder *.html  |
  ForEach-Object {
    $c = $_.BaseName
    $ie=New-Object -ComObject InternetExplorer.Application
    $ie.Navigate("$_")
    while ($ie.busy -eq $true) {
      Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500
    }
    $doc=$ie.Document
    $elements=$doc.GetElementByID('para1')
    $elements.innerText | ForEach-Object { Add-Content -path c:\temp\results.csv "$c,$system,$para1" }
  }
}
