Answer 1

to execute a script in powershell, create the script in notepad++ save as .ps1 (powershell).

save to desktop.

open powershell as admin, drag the file from desktop and drop the file into the shell and hit enter. It should run fine!

edit

Please make sure you follow these steps!

1) run sharepoint 2010 managment shell as admin

2) run this code: Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell

3) create your ps1 from notepad++ as it contains the extention method .ps1 when you save the file rather than renaming the file from a text file!

4) save the file to desktop

5) drag the saved file and drop it into sharepoint 2010 managment shell, now hit enter... it should run your code within your file!

just try the above to see it work! dont do: Post-KJUninstall.ps1 -UninstallLogFilePath C:\LogFiles\Detail_La ndingPage.txt all you want to see is if its going to run your ps1 file first!

EDIT

now we know its not your powershell thats broken but the script!

look at your params:

Param($UninstallLogFilePath)

change to

Param([String]$UninstallLogFilePath="") 

now in powershell do:

Post-KJUninstall.ps1 -UninstallLogFilePath "C:\LogFiles\Detail_LandingPage.txt"
