Project Description

If you are interested in contributing to PSCX, drop me an email, or use the new

We're honored by such lofty praise. We hope that you also find PSCX to be a very useful addition to your Windows PowerShell toolkit.

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. :-)
