Shortened alot! By about 80-85% to better follow the script style of the rest of the scripts.
Fixed the cleanup line to be correct.
Here we go:
$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$tp = "C:\TempPath"
mkdir $tp
$htmlContent = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.pdfgear.com/download/"
$downloadUrl = $htmlContent.Content | Select-String -Pattern 'https://downloadfiles\.pdfgear\.com/releases/windows/.*?\.exe' | ForEach-Object { $_.Matches.Groups[0].Value }
$installerPath = "$tp\PDFGearInstaller.exe"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $downloadUrl -OutFile $installerPath
Start-Process -FilePath $installerPath -ArgumentList "/silent /suppressmsgboxes /norestart" -Wait
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
del $installerPath
