Install a Software Deployable Package (SDP) in a unified development environment

Invoke-D365SDPInstallUDE [-Path] <String> [-MetaDataDir] <String> [-LogPath <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

A cmdlet that wraps some of the cumbersome work into a streamlined process. It first checks if the package is a zip file and extracts it if necessary. Then it checks if the package contains the necessary files and modules. Finally, it extracts the module zip files into the metadata directory.

Invoke-D365SDPInstallUDE -Path "c:\temp\package.zip" -MetaDataDir "c:\MyRepository\Metadata"

This will install the modules contained in the c:\temp\package.zip file into the c:\MyRepository\Metadata directory.
