Error running PowerShell Commands On Azure WorkerRole
azure, powershell
Solution
Open your `whatever.cmd` file with your VS 2012 Ultimate. Click on `File`->`Save whatever.cmd as` -> on the dialog there is little arrow next to the `[save]` button. It will show up a menu that will have the option `Save with Encoding`:
Select it. Now choose "US-ASCII Codepage 20127" from the list of available encodings.
Problem
I am trying to run a startup task cmd-script on a Windows Azure Role. This are the two lines of the command file script: ``` powershell $command = "set-executionpolicy Unrestricted" powershell $command = ".\setupAgent.ps1" -NonInteractive >; out.txt ``` Now the problem is, I get an error message from the command shell, that says: ``` D:\Users\UserAccount>powershell $command = "set-executionpolicy Unrestricted" 'powershell' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ``` It looks like there are used some kind of different codepages or something linke that, because these special chars are not in my cmd file. The cmd-file was created on Windows 8 via VS 2012 Ultimate. Do you have an idea, how I can dismiss there special chars at the beginning of the command? If I copy the command from the cmd-file to the console via remote desktop it works fine!
