This is pretty sparse right now; we apologize. A work in progress!

PowerShell Community Extensions Versions

The version of PSCX you will want to use depends on the version of Powershell you are running.

For PowerShell 3.0, use Pscx 3.0
For PowerShell 2.0, use Pscx 2.1.1
For PowerShell 1.0, use Pscx 1.2

PowerShell 3.0 is released, stable, and has some great new features. If you don't already have it, you can download it as part of the Windows Management Framework 3.0.

Release Status

PSCX 3.0 Production Released

PSCX 3.0 is our primary release targeting PowerShell 3.0 and only PowerShell 3.0. We've made the jump to .NET 4.0 and are using PowerShell 3.0 specific features. If you need PowerShell 2.0 support use PSCX 2.1 Production. PSCX 3.0 is deployed via a MSI file. You can download PSCX 3.0 from http://pscx.codeplex.com/releases/view/96847.

PSCX 2.1 Production Released

PSCX 2.1 addresses a number of defects found in the 2.0.0.x releases as well as adding support for Windows PowerShell 3.0. PSCX 2.1 is xcopy deployed via a ZIP file. Do not forget to unblock the ZIP file before extracting the contents. You can download PSCX 2.1 from http://pscx.codeplex.com/releases/view/96848.

Both of these releases of PSCX support execution in an "AllSigned" execution policy environment. We were also able to obtain an extended validation code signing certificate to allow the PSCX 3.0 MSI file to play nicely with the Windows 8 SmartScreen filter. We would like to thank the folks at DigiCert for donating the required code signing certificates to this project. Not only did they donate the certs but were quite helpful in supporting me getting up and running quickly - even when that meant talking to a support person at midnight. :-)

PSCX 1.2 Released

This version supports Windows PowerShell version 2.0 and adds Read-Archive, Expand-Archive and Tail-File cmdlets. As always, we are interested in your feedback, good and bad.

Installation note: you will be required to uninstall PSCX 1.1.1 before installing 1.2. If you don't you will get an installer error which if you look at the details, effectively tells you to uninstall previous versions of PSCX. Also we have added an option for the profile installation. You can either allow PSCX to install a default profile (it will offer to back up the original one), append the PSCX profile script to your existing script or do nothing. If you append to your existing profile script, please remove all the old PSCX 1.1.1 script from your profile before starting up PowerShell. By default, PowerShell uses the per user, all hosts profile (profile.ps1).
