PowerShell, doesn't contain method 'items' - windows

Question

When executing this code, I received the error below:
$filesExist = Test-Path($file)
if ($filesExist) {
$shell_app=new-object -com shell.application
$zip_file = Get-Item "$mindCrackFolder\files.zip"
$destination = Get-Item $mindCrackFolder
$destination.Copyhere($zip_file.items(), 0x14)
#Remove-Item "$zip_file"
#Remove-Item "install.ps1"
}
Error:
Method invocation failed because [System.IO.FileInfo] doesn't contain a method named 'items'.
At C:\Users\User1\Desktop\ps install\install.ps1:33 char:5
+ $destination.Copyhere($zip_file.items(), 0x14)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound
But I already convertered $destination into a IO object to be manipulated? Can I get any help, this my first time experimenting with PS.

Answer 1

This has nothing do with $destination. $zip_file.items() is evaluated first and the error message is telling you that the .NET System.IO.FileInfo object returned by Get-Item has no Items() method. Get-Item only returns an object that provides information about a file - size, last write time, readonly or not, etc. You can't use Get-Item to access the contents of a ZIP file.
If you need to extract the contents of the ZIP file, consider using the PowerShell Community Exensions' Expand-Archive cmdlet.

Answer 2

The errors is talking about the object you use the items() method on = $zip_file. Powershell doesn't have built-in zip support, you gotta create it(using shell.application com-object, google it) or add a .net library. $zip_file is just a simple FileInfo object just as the ones you get from dir(Get-ChildItem). It does not contain an items() method.
Solution: as previously said, google powershell zip files to read about how you can use zip files in powershell. My suggestion is DotNetZip

I don't know what and where you learned these, but you seem to have copied some code wrongly and made changes ad-hoc. Try the below script which does what you want:
$shell_app=new-object -com shell.application
$filename = "test.zip"
$zip_file = $shell_app.namespace((Get-Location).Path + "\$filename")
$destination = $shell_app.namespace((Get-Location).Path)
$destination.Copyhere($zip_file.items(), 0x14)
The items and copyHere method are not available on FileInfo objects, which is what you get from Get-Item. Use them as shown above.
