It is the plan to add the ability to export psf files and projects from the command line in one of the next service builds. If I get more information, I'll update you.

With the latest service release (5.7.182), there is no way to build from the command line.



As we have now received multiple requests for this, we are working on a solution to build a project or form from the command line. This should be included in the next service release of PowerShell Studio.

PowerShell 7.1 is not supported yet. It uses the new .NET 5.0. Basically it means we need to rebuild, recompile and retest everything, which takes time.

It will be supported in an upcoming service release.

Tue Oct 20, 2020 7:02 am Convert exe to Powershell Tue Oct 20, 2020 7:02 am Convert exe to Powershell
Hi

I built an exe from the powershell script using Powershell Studio about 2 years back. I need to make a change to the script and do not seem to find the original Script I used. Can you help in converting .exe to a script.



Thanks in advance

Please send the text you wanted to post to websupport@sapien.com

The SPAM plugin is probably overeager and needs to be adjusted.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

The old .NET framework from 2017 does not support more modern protocols.

Packaging scripts is, among other purposes, intent to keep prying eyes from the code. While this is not an absolutely unbreakable mechanism (we never claimed that), it keeps the casual observer from messing with code. Including 'unpackaging' in the product would allow just anyone to look anyway ...

I followed your instructions and with that type of compilation you chose the problem does not arise. As I said, it only occurs when you set up the publication with the ps5 engine. I sent you the screenshots of my configuration, so since you cannot run my EXE, you can surely simulate the same ...

You should be able to delete it from the document outline in the ToolBox panel:

You can also try selecting the element from the Properties panel and clicking delete on your keyboard or right-clicking and selecting delete.

The only way to see the whole script is to export for psf file into a ps1 file (Deploy->Export). This was done to prevent modifying the generated form code while using the designer.

As of right now, the plan is roll out WPF support this year. The first thing that is planned for PowerShell Studio is a XAML editor. That is all the information I have at present. The converter is still in development and isn't planned to be changed from experimental until later. I will relay your ...

Current licensing is perpetual. If you let maintenance expire your will not get updates and support,

but the software will keep working and any produced executables will keep running.

There is only a three day limitation on executables produced with a trial version.

It is odd that PrimalScript stays activated when PowerShell Studio is not. The failure to communicate stems from the older .NET framework using an outdated protocol. There is nothing really that can be done about that. I would suggest that you try the external unlock tool you can download from here ...

Hello and thank you for trying PowerShell Studio. There are a few differences between PowerShell Studio and the ISE that you should be aware of. 1. PowerShell Studio always runs the script in a new runspace to clear out the session. This ensures the script doesn't have any dependences on modified ...

PrimalScript keeps the indentation you have on the previous line. It does not add or subtract from your indentation automatically.

When using SAPIENCommandLine.exe, you need to specify a ps1, psf, or project file. The psbuild file only needs to be in the same directory but does not need to be passed directly.
