Configure Visual Studio 2010 environment in PowerShell
Instead of using the “Visual Studo Command Prompt (2010)” i wanted to use PowerShell instead. I found this post which does it for VS2008. Extending it for VS2010 was pretty easy:
function SetVS2008()
{
$vs90comntools = (Get-ChildItem env:VS90COMNTOOLS).Value
$batchFile = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($vs90comntools, "vsvars32.bat")
Get-Batchfile $BatchFile
[System.Console]::Title = "Visual Studio 2008 Windows PowerShell"
}
function SetVS2010()
{
$vs100comntools = (Get-ChildItem env:VS100COMNTOOLS).Value
$batchFile = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($vs100comntools, "vsvars32.bat")
Get-Batchfile $BatchFile
[System.Console]::Title = "Visual Studio 2010 Windows PowerShell"
}
function Get-Batchfile($file)
{
$cmd = "\`"$file\`" & set"
cmd /c $cmd | Foreach-Object {
$p, $v = $_.split('=')
Set-Item -path env:$p -value $v
}
}
