How do I use the following code in such a way that it will display what is indicated by the word "echo"?

Question

if(exist chrome.exe $true) 
echo internet is ready 
else 
echo get chrome!!
I want to use the above script to cause the shell to display either "internet is ready" or "get chrome!!" depending on whether or not a user has Chrome but the shell keeps giving the following error message.
Missing statement block after if ( condition ).
At line:2 char:1
What is a statement block, and how do I use it to display the text?

Answer 1

This might work okay in .BAT but I don't think so much in Powershell. You are trying to do an IF ( ) statement, but you have no parameters after that.
A pancake of how an IF statement works in Powershell:
If (statement -like "True") { Script info if condition is true } else { script info if condition is false }
In your case, you need to test the path of Chrome to see if it exsists. I don't have Chrome installed, but I do have IE. You just need to change the path to where the Chrome.exe is installed.
ps - the Echo equiv in Powershell is Write-Host
$TestBrowser = Test-Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
    if ($TestBrowser -like "True")
        Write-Host the internets is ready!
    else
        Write-Host the internets is not ready
Similiarly, you don't need to use $TestBrowser in your If ( ) statement, you can just use the operational param $?, which should return true or false depending on the last error message.
