Startup.pps - Project with no forms - How to package to exe

[ServerbeheerRail]

I use Powershell Studio 2020.

I created a new empty Project, so I have a Startup.pps file (BuildOrder 0). I only have .ps1 files and no .psf files.

I added 4 .ps1 files:
1. MainScript.ps1 (BuildOrder 1)
2. Repository.ps1 (BuildOrder 2)
3. Functions_Email.ps1 (BuildOrder 3)
4. Functions.ps1 (BuildOrder 4)

The .ps1 files 2,3 and 4 are dot sourced into the main script.

I want to package the project into an executable, but I can't find how to configure the Startup.pps file to start the main script.
I tried to use a Collection Project, but then there is no option to package the files into an executable. Starting the main script in the collection project works fine.

When you created an empty project, it should have come with a Startup.pss file with a Main function. From there, you would need to call a function in your MainScript.ps1 to start your process (depending on how you have it set up). Basically, whatever logic is needed to start your main script in the Main function in Startup.pss.

A collection project is just a collection of scripts that don't necessarily connect so I would not recommend this template for you.
