Is there a way to bundle PowerShell such that I don’t have to install it on the OS? Ideally I’d like to use it in my build process, but I want something that’s self-contained; I don’t want to rely on each client computer installing PowerShell. I’m thinking I’d build a console app that hosts a PowerShell environment, but bundles the PowerShell assemblies locally.
Assuming it’s possible, are there any royalty/licensing issues with such a setup?
I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to be able to see if the libraries can be somewhat independently copied. You are expecting the .NET Framework 2.0 to be on the machine?
There is some information here: http://karlprosser.com/coder/2008/06/19/portable-powershell-part-2-roll-your-own-plus-a-challenge/
But this isn’t officially supported by Microsoft. Microsoft’s stance will likely be that you must install PowerShell with the msi/msu or add the feature.
