Answer 2

I hadn't actually completed the last step of my above question completely which turned out to be the answer.

Here is that answer for completeness

• Unblock the zip file you have downloaded
• extract the zip file - this will likely give a folder structure of Pscx-2.1.0/Pscx-2.1.0/{lots of files}
• rename the child folder to Pscx - ie - Pscx-2.1.0/Pscx/{lots of files}
• In Powershell prompt run (Get-ChildItem Env:\PSModulePath).Value and note the modules folder location.
• Copy the child Pscx folder to the Modules folder location given above.
• In Powershell prompt run Get-Module -ListAvailable to see the Pscx module available.

Answer 3

In PowerShell 5.0, you can do:

Find-Package pscx | ? ProviderName -eq PSModule | Install-Package -Force

The -Force parameter will cause it to upgrade if an older version is already installed.

In PowerShell 5.1, you'll need:

Find-Package pscx | ? ProviderName -eq PowerShellGet | Install-Package -Force

or

Find-Package pscx -ProviderName PowerShellGet | Install-Package -Force

or just

Install-Package pscx -Force

Answer 4

You can also use PsGet to easily search and install PowerShell modules.

You can check which modules have been added to PsGet by browsing for all modules:

> Get-PsGetModuleInfo *

Or locate this one specfically:

> Get-PsGetModuleInfo pscx

Then you can install based on that information:

> Install-Module pscx

Answer 5

Just run

choco install pscx

See chocolatey.org for a one-liner to get the choco command.

Keep in mind you may still have to call this in your scripts before running their commands:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser #allows scripts to run from the interwebs, such as pcsx
