In PowerShell 1.0 and 2.0, you needed a lot of weird code to find out the current script location:
# make sure the script is saved and NOT "Untitled"! $invocation = (Get-Variable MyInvocation).Value $scriptPath = Split-Path $invocation.MyCommand.Path $scriptName = $invocation.MyCommand.Name $scriptPath $scriptName
The code would work only if you placed it into the root of your script.
Beginning with PowerShell 3.0, things are much easier, and these special variables are available anywhere in your script:
# make sure the script is saved and NOT "Untitled"! $ScriptName = Split-Path $PSCommandPath -Leaf $PSScriptRoot $PSCommandPath $ScriptName
