Execute a PowerShell .ps1 script or a PowerShell command(s)

[Joe Caverly]

Here's a 64-bit COM .dll that I created to execute a PowerShell .ps1 script,
or a PowerShell command(s),
from thinBasic.

GitHub - JoeC4281/PSCom: PowerShell COM dll to run .ps1 files from VBScript

Here's an example use with thinBasic;

uses "Console"
' Uses "Trace"


dim ps as iDispatch
dim result as string


printl "Creating PSCom.PSScript object"


ps = CreateObject("PSCom.PSScript")


if IsComObject(ps) then
  result = ps.ExecuteScript("e:\utils\winver.ps1")


  printl result
  
  result = ps.ExecuteCommand("Get-Date; 2025-1959")
  
  Printl result
Else
  Printl "Could not create PSCom.PSScript object"
end if


ps = Nothing

As this is a 64-Bit COM .dll,
you'll need to create a dllsurrogate for PSCom.dll,
so that it can be used from 32-Bit thinBasic.

Instructions for doing this are in the README.md file.

Not ready for production use,
but can be used for testing purposes.

Hi Joe,

thank you very much for sharing the project with the community.

I appreciate the detailed README and extra transparency having the code on GitHub as well.
