‘Post-deployment Command Line’. snap-in ‘Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell' is not installed on this computer.

hi all,

i try run powershell script automatically when deploying sharepoint farm solution, keep receiving error messages.

i first create sharepoint folder called powershell scripts , place powershell script (spdeploy.ps1).

*************

spdeploy.ps1:

$snapin = get-pssnapin | { $_.name -eq "microsoft.sharepoint.powershell" }

if($snapin -eq $null)  {

add-pssnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell

}

write-host "reset iis"

iisreset

write-host "delete demo site"

remove-spsite -identity "http://mysite/sites/test1" -gradualdelete -confirm:$false

write-host "create demo site"

new-spsite http://mysite/sites/test1 -owneralias "domain\administrator" -name "contoso" -template "sitedefinition1#0"

write-host "finished"

***************

i add commands visual studio ‘post-deployment command line’. have tried 3 different commands, still received error messages.

command 1)
%systemroot%\syswow64\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe set-executionpolicy -executionpolicy unrestricted

%systemroot%\syswow64\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -file "$(projectdir)\poweshellscripts\psdeploy.ps1"

command 2)

c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe set-executionpolicy -executionpolicy unrestricted

c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -file "$(projectdir)\poweshellscripts\psdeploy.ps1"

command 3)

%windir%\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell set-executionpolicy unrestricted -file "$(projectdir)\poweshellscripts\psdeploy.ps1"

%windir%\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell -file "$(projectdir)\poweshellscripts\psdeploy.ps1"

while deploying sharepoint solution error message shown below:

*****************

i can run same script manually sharepoint powershell console without error message, run automatically visual studio ‘post-deployment command line’.

i hope can help
 colin

indeed thats correct because running in 32 bit version. wont work. try run 64 bit version.

the 64 bit ps should here

%systemroot%\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe

for example

%systemroot%\syswow64\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe set-executionpolicy -executionpolicy unrestricted

change

%systemroot%\system32windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe set-executionpolicy -executionpolicy unrestricted

and try. let me know

one more thing file name reads spdeploy when calling called psdeploy. not clear here please check too.
