How to run a PowerShell script

Question

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

If your script is named with the  ps1 extension and you re in a PowerShell window  you just run   myscript ps1  assuming the file is in your working directory    This is true for me anyway on Windows 10 with PowerShell version 5 1 anyway  and I don t think I ve done anything to make it possible

User · Answer

Pretty easy  Right click the  ps1 file in Windows and in the shell menu click on Run with PowerShell

Use the -File parameter in front of the filename  The quotes make PowerShell think it is a string of commands
