Install fonts with PowerShell

The function Install-Font lets you install fonts using PowerShell. It triggers the Install for all users command, utilizing a technique demonstrated by Stefan Kanthak:

function Install-Font {
	
	param(
		[Parameter( Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline )]
		[System.IO.FileInfo[]]
		$FontFile,
		
		[switch]
		$WhatIf
	)
	
	begin {
		$shell = New-Object -ComObject 'Shell.Application';
	}
	
	process {
		foreach( $file in $FontFile ) {
			if( $WhatIf ) {
				Write-Host -Message(
					'Installing font "{0}".' -f $file.Name
				);
			} else {
				$shell.NameSpace(
					$file.Directory.FullName
				).ParseName(
					$file.Name
				).Verbs() | ForEach-Object {
					if( $_.Name -eq 'Install for &all users' ) {
						$_.DoIt();
					}
				};
			}
		}
	}
}
