PrimalScript, PowerShell Studio or any other tool in the PowerShell universe you can think of? We get this question a lot, so I thought I’d give you a few highlights. First and foremost, this is not a game of ISE or not. The ISE is an important tool for your everyday work and you should […]

VersionRecall integration with PrimalScript and PowerShell Studio
The folks over at PowerShell.org recently published a review of VersionRecall (http://powershell.org/wp/2014/04/15/review-sapien-versionrecall/) There was one paragraph that took us a little bit by surprise: “Unfortunately, PowerShell Studio doesn’t seem to recognize VersionRecall as a source control provider (at least, it didn’t show up when I tried to configure source control in PowerShell Studio).

Unlike the squiggly red or green underlines in Microsoft Word colors indicate validation rather than error. So while glancing at a syntax colored stretch of code the usual green hue of comments and […]

Most of the time this is pretty simple and we can adapt our code to a new object or a change of where the information is located. Sometimes […]
PSModulePath discrepancies

On a virgin Windows 7 machine the environment variable is set to “C:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\” via a System Environment Variable.There is no default that links to the per-user module path.
