@alekdavis Looks to all be good now on the latest release! No errors or any other problems at all. :D
Going to go ahead and close this issue now, due to the fact that this is now solved.

@JourneyOver : Hmmm... this is weird. I assume that the folder (path) exists (since your backup does seem to get generated). And it should not be a permissions issue. Could you replace the contents of the try-catch block starting at like 676 with this:
try {
if (!(Test-Path -Path $$path -PathType Leaf)) {
New-Item -Path $path -Type file -Force
}
$version | Set-Content -Path $path
}
catch {
and see if it helps?

Well the error didn't show up this time but now it just shows

I just noticed something as well that may be a clue as to what's maybe happening, look at the log

and you'll notice something as well, though I'll make it a bit more clear below on what seems to be happening, and it all seems to be due to the fact that I have my keep value for backups set to only "1"
What you should see is that it starts up and creates the folder and the version.txt file

Backup will be saved in:
H:\Ketarin\ketarin-files\installers\Backups\PMS\20190518130210
but then the next thing you see is that since I have my keep value for backups set to only 1 it deletes my old backup along with the new folder it just created that had the version.txt in it.
Deleting old backup folder(s):
20190518130210
20190518114319
after that it goes and recreates the folder all over again and continues on with the update like nothing ever happened, except for the fact that the folder with the version.txt info was deleted so it ends up missing it in the new folder.
Creating backup folder:
H:\Ketarin\ketarin-files\installers\Backups\PMS\20190518130210
Creating task-specific subfolder(s) in:
H:\Ketarin\ketarin-files\installers\Backups\PMS\20190518130210
...
...
so it's all due to the fact that it creates the new backup folder along with the version.txt file all before doing the deletion process of the old backups which causes it to delete the folder for the new backup as well due to the fact I only want to keep 1 backup, which then gets recreated (minus the version.txt) when it goes about doing the actual backup process.

Looks like it creates the version.txt file now, but it now seems to throw some random errors and it seems to even throw a security warning now as well >.<

The security warning is because you downloaded the file from the internet. Just make an undestructive change and save the file, and PowerShell should stop complaining. I need to go run errands now, but I'll get back to it when I get a chance. Will let you know.

Yea I was about to edit my post above to say it could probably actually be ignored due to that fact xD as well as the "Get-Help could not find" errors, the only one that would really need to be looked at is the very last error to do with the "Cannot validate argument on parameter 'success'."
and alright have a good day ^^

Probably because you forgot to encase it in "" like "1", should be Keep = "1"

@alekdavis looks like everything ran perfectly, no errors or anything bad going on and it creates the version.txt file like it should without it being deleted (only thing is it doesn't mention anything in the actual output that it's being created lol) xD
