LINE 48 is where i am having issues with copying from the unc path to destination. I think the issue is the destination part.

PowerShell

"${env:programfiles(x86)}\Advatel\Espera Client\bin"

1	"${env:programfiles(x86)}\Advatel\Espera Client\bin"

Do you get errors? … I tried it and it outputs exactly the expected result. Did you notice – there is no Dollar sign inside the curly braces. 😉

So your issue is not your Powershell code it is your lack of rights to the target folder. 😉
