Note that you are subject to PowerShell execution policy. Before Server 2012 R2, the default was Restricted which will block all PowerShell execution outside of a PowerShell Concole or ISE. Many networks have GPO that will detect changes to the ExecutionPolicy and revert it back.
With Server 2012 R2, the default is a more sensible RemoteSigned, but this requires your scripts are signed--not hard to do, but also not commonly done. It is possible to execute PowerShell cmdlets in C# and avoid ExecutionPolicy. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Pavan Konduru [mailto:pavan.kond...@accelrys.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 3:05 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.
