Windows 8.1, PowerShell 4. I'm wanting to use PS to manage the GAC. I find lots of references to Get-GacAssembly for reading a list, getting detailed info, etc.
But running PS as administrator, and PS ISE, I get an error:
> The term 'Get-GacAssembly' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet
Do I need to CD to somewhere? How would I discover where to go to find the cmdlets?
The general answer to your question is that you must first install the module (by adding relevant files to Documents\Powershell\Modules or Windows\System32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\Modules. Then, you should use Import-Module to load the cmdlets. Cmdlets in Windows\System32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\Modules should be loaded by default. Script modules (e.g., modules that export functions) require at least RemoteSigned execution settings to run.
