How do I run a PowerShell script?
- I have a script named myscript.ps1
- I have all the necessary frameworks installed
- I set that execution policy thing
- I have followed the instructions on this MSDN help page
and am trying to run it like so:
powershell.exe 'C:\my_path\yada_yada\run_import_script.ps1'
(with or without--noexit
)
which returns exactly nothing, except that the file name is output.
No error, no message, nothing. Oh, when I add -noexit
, the same thing happens, but I remain within PowerShell and have to exit manually.
The .ps1 file is supposed to run a program and return the error level dependent on that program's output. But I'm quite sure I'm not even getting there yet.
What am I doing wrong?

Or you could even run your PowerShell script from your C# application :-)
