Powershell v4 not importing module automatically
c#, load, module, powershell, powershell-4.0
Solution
If you want to load it automatically you can add the `Import-Module MySnapin` command line to your PowerShell profile.
To find out the location of your PowerShell profile just type `$profile` in a PowerShell and by default the profile path is:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
If the `Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1` file does not exist just create it.
Problem
I am using `Microsoft PowerShell v4`: ``` PS C:\> get-host Name : ConsoleHost Version : 4.0 InstanceId : 3b4b6b8d-70ec-46dd-942a-bfecf5fb6f31 UI : System.Management.Automation.Internal.Host.InternalHostUserInterface CurrentCulture : de-CH CurrentUICulture : en-US PrivateData : Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost+ConsoleColorProxy IsRunspacePushed : False Runspace : System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.LocalRunspace ``` I have developed a C# project in Visual Studio 2012 targeting .NET Framework 4 which contains some `Cmdlet` and the `Snapin`. I can debug them and everything works just fine. I've created the path `C:\PowerShell\Modules\` and added it to the `PSModulePath` environment variable. I put the r`MySnapIn.dll` to the path `C:\PowerShell\Modules\MySnapIn`. I would expect that the module is automatically loaded so I have my new cmdlets ready to use, but they're not: the module is not loaded. I have to write `Import-Module MySnapin` in order to get it loaded. How can I get the module automatically loaded?
