PrimalScript 2009 usually uses CScript.exe to run VBScript files and captures its output and directs it to the IDE’s output windows. Since PrimalScript 2009 is a 32 bit application the host used is also of the 32 bit variety, residing in the System32 folder of your Windows directory. If you are working on a 64 […]

Moving to 64 bit: Running a 64 bit PowerShell console inside PrimalScript 2009
PrimalScript 2009 is a 32 bit application, so by default it uses the 32 bit version of PowerShell even on a 64 bit machine for the embedded console. If you are dealing with mostly 64 bit server software you may want to make the embedded shell use the 64 bit version of PowerShell. The default […]
PrimalScript 2009 and Windows 7
Since the release of Windows 7 we have been getting a huge number of calls and emails asking if PrimalScript 2009 (and other SAPIEN software) is compatible with and supported under Windows 7.

Can I Get a Little Help Here?
One of my favorite features in PowerShell v2.0 is the ability to add help scripts and functions. The help system with cmdlets is terrific. Type help and the name of a cmdlet and you get syntax, parameters, a description and examples. In PowerShell v2 you can get this same functionality for your scripts and functions.

There have been some changes since PowerShell CTP3 so if you want the absolute latest PowerShell bits you’ll need Windows 7. Here’s what you can look forward to.
Does PrimalScript 2009 support PowerShell V2?
