How to run a PowerShell script
- Launch Windows PowerShell, and wait a moment for the
PScommand prompt to appear Navigate to the directory where the script lives
PS> cd C:\my_path\yada_yada\ (enter)Execute the script:
PS> .\run_import_script.ps1 (enter)
What am I missing??
Or: you can run the PowerShell script from cmd.exe like this:
powershell -noexit "& ""C:\my_path\yada_yada\run_import_script.ps1""" (enter)according to this blog post here
Or you could even run your PowerShell script from your C# application :-)
Asynchronously execute PowerShell scripts from your C# application
If you are on PowerShell 2.0, use PowerShell.exe's -File parameter to invoke a script from another environment, like cmd.exe. For example:
Powershell.exe -File C:\my_path\yada_yada\run_import_script.ps1
If you want to run a script without modifying the default script execution policy, you can use the bypass switch when launching Windows PowerShell.
powershell [-noexit] -executionpolicy bypass -File <Filename>
