After posting many random PowerShell scripts in my blog , I packaged them up into a common module to make sharing and incorporating easier. Please fork and let me know if there's any bugs you find. I hope you find it useful.
WintellectPowerShell is in the PowerShell Gallery. To install, execute the following command:
Install-Module -Name WintellectPowerShell -Scope CurrentUser
If you had a previous version of WintellectPowerShell installed and you get an error about the 'Authenticode issuer' that is because I had to renew my code signature file. Add the -SkipPublisherCheck to the above command. All required files are properly digitally signed.
Here's the about text showing all cmdlets. Of course, all cmdlets have detailed help for more information.
TOPIC
about_WintellectPowerShell
SHORT DESCRIPTION
Provides cmdlets for setting up symbol servers and other
functionality related to debugging and performance tuning.
LONG DESCRIPTION
This module makes setting up symbol servers and source server debugging
functionality easier to control for Visual Studio 2013 through 2017
and WinDBG. Setting up a development machine for symbol server
access is more difficult than it needs to be but no more.
You can have any combination of Visual Studio 2013 through 2017, and
WinDBG on the computer for these cmdlets to work.
These cmdlets had been originally developed as PowerShell scripts by John
Robbins and released on his blog. This module combines all the separate
scripts to make everything easier to manage.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or bug reports, please contact John
at [email protected].
The following cmdlets are included.
