Creating a banner GUI

by Lery at 2013-04-16 07:30:50

So this is not really a GUI in the traditional sense. I plan on learning that later on. For now, I found a nice example on the Scripting Guys repository. I’m using this as a foundation to add my own items. What I would like to know is how can I setup the code below to not just exit after making a choice of either 1, 2, or 3? I would like to add a 4th option to exit. That way I can hit 1, it runs, and the banner options come back. Not until I hit 4, would the script just exit. Here is the sample code that I’m using as a foundation. I’m not using the uninstall-windowsfeature section. It could be as simple as a WMI query.

You basically just need to throw in a Do-Until loop
