PowerShell studio output issue.

Post by m.elsayaad »

Hello there,
I have an abnormal behavior in PowerShell Studio 2017 v5.4.136

If I created empty project contains the following in startup.pss which (should print simple text only)

#Define a Param block to use custom parameters in the project
#Param ($CustomParameter)

function Main {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
The Main function starts the project application.

.PARAMETER Commandline
$Commandline contains the complete argument string passed to the script packager executable.

.NOTES
Use this function to initialize your script and to call GUI forms.

.NOTES
To get the console output in the Packager (Forms Engine) use:
$ConsoleOutput (Type: System.Collections.ArrayList)
#>
Param ([String]$Commandline)

Write-Host 'Hello, this is empty project'
Read-Host



$script:ExitCode = 0 #Set the exit code for the Packager
}

When build the project and copy the exe file to another machine with windows 8.1 embedded

I got the error before print text (as attached)

The paths mentioned in the errors comes from the machine that produced the exe file.

Also the strange is that the exe comes from empty project not related to any files or paths.

The exe should print simple text “Hello, this is empty project”

I need to know what is going on and why I got this errors in all exe files I created.

Although I tried PowerGUI to generate exe do the same thing (print text) and it worked fine.

I tried more than machine with windows 8.1 embedded and have the same issue.

Waiting for your feedback.

Thanks.

I am not sure what you are packaging here. The code you posted does not contain any reference to LoadFile or the files name it complains about, so it is pretty obvious that you include other files in your project.
If you just want to package a simple script, you do not need a project, you can just package the script directly.
Maybe you can elaborate on what you are trying to do.

Thanks Alexander for your reply.

actually i need to package a project with files, but the project doesn't contain any reference to LoadFile function or the files name mentioned in the error.
i tried this simple script to make sure that the issue is not related to files in my package.
This is only a sample for packaging not what i need to do.

I wonder if there is something saved in PowerShell studio itself that keep loading script what ever the project package ?!

I think i found the root cause of this issue, but i couldn't fix it!!!

when i exported the script to file i found section for Import assemblies which i didn't added in my new project.

i may added these assemblies before for another projects but not for this one.

i think i was right when i thought there is something saved in powershell studio it self and always loaded for new projects.

here the script file, can you tell me how to remove these section from my project?

Click on the assemblies button on the ribbon (Edit panel, Home tab) and remove the assembly reference you do not want to be present.
Adding assemblies to one project does not make them a default for other or new projects. Did you copy the project from someplace else?

no i didn't copy this project from someplace else, but my original project yes.

i found the same files included in file > options > Assemblies tab
i think these was a default assemblies loaded to all new projects.
i don't know how these assemblies are loaded there or when, but i removed them too.

thanks again for your fast support :)

have a good day.
