RE: Powershell.exe.config

[RichS]

As far as I am aware PowerShell doesn't work that way. I presume from your
post that the dlls contain .NET assemblies that you want to reference in
PowerShell. probably the easiest way make them accessible is to use

[void] [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile(.......)

Actually powershell.exe.config is most definitely loaded by
powershell, it's a .net application like anything else. You can prove
this quite simply by dropping a powershell.exe.config file into the
v1.0 directory:

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="foo" value="bar" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Then, fire up posh and read it back:

PS C:\Users\Oisin>
[System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings]::AppSettings["foo"]
bar

et voila. Your problems lie elsewhere ;-)

Can you give us more technical detail and what, why and how you're
trying to do what it is you need to do? I have a decent amount of
experience with the CLR loader.

Great - I'd not looked at it before so thanks for the update. One point on
putting files into the v1 folder - on Visat the UAC may kick in and either
block you creating the file or from editing it later

Hi Steve,

Can you please post your powershell.exe.config configuration here,
along with current behaviour and expected behaviour in as much detail
as possibe?

Thanks,
