Powershell Variable Folder Name

I have a static path: C:\Program Files\N-able Technologies\EndpointSetupInformation\

And then a GUID folder, which is different per machine: {10ba9c5f-8bc1-4094-c245-1e6a38d90090} for instance, and the GUID folder is the only folder in the directory.

And then the exe file: installer.exe

I need to run that installer.exe with powershell. How can I do this simply? Basically something like: C:\Program Files\N-able Technologies\EndpointSetupInformation\{*}\installer.exe

You can have the following which will allow you to assign the full path to a variable for use later.

$installer = (Get-ChildItem 'C:\Program Files\N-able Technologies\EndpointSetupInformation\*\installer.exe').FullName

This assumes that there is only one installer.exe file one folder deep.

You could drop the .FullName at the end and then use $installer.FullName instead, giving you access to all the other properties that the Get-ChildItem has, such as .BaseName or .DirectoryName
