I’ve posted a new version of what I’m now calling “SAPIEN Extensions for Windows PowerShell,” or “PshX-SAPIEN” for short (this was formerly “PrimalToys for PowerShell,” but that name was causing some confusion since we also have an unrelated collection of COM components called PrimalToys). The new version changes the way the Ping-Computer cmdlet works, modifies Write-Speech to accept pipeline input, and updates everything (I hope) to use the new name for the snap-in.<\/p>\n

If you have the old version, I suggest de-registering it. In the v2.0.xxxx folder under \\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework, you’ll find InstallUtil.exe. Run it with the \/u switch, giving it the path to the old PrimalToys.dll file:<\/p>\n

installutil \/u “path to dll file”<\/p>\n

Then, copy in the new PshX-SAPIEN.dll file (www.primalscript.com\/freetools<\/a>). Run InstallUtil.exe again, this time without the \/u switch:<\/p>\n

installutil “path to new dll file”<\/p>\n

And that should do it. Installation instructions are in an accompanying Word doc. Go to www.sapien.com\/support.asp<\/a> (in the “Free Tools Support” forum) for technical support. Note that I’m still not providing a PowerShell help file (and won’t until Microsoft releases a help file authoring tool – the help file XML format is insanely complicated), so the Get-Help cmdlet won’t pull up help for the PshX-SAPIEN cmdlets. However, they’re all documented in the Word doc that accompanies the DLL.<\/p>\n

Enjoy! BTW, I’d love some comments or forum posts on additional cmdlets you’d like to see implemented. Costs you nothing!<\/p>\n
