Hi ChrisA,

Hope you are doing well. I am running the above script on one of the packer build but it is failed to download the java software. If i just ran
(Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp).Content | %{[regex]::matches($_, '(?:<a title="Download Java software for Windows Online" href=")(.*)(?:">)').Groups[1].Value} that gives below error;

Cannot index into a null array.
At line:1 char:94

+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NullArray

I hope this is something to do with java?
