Calling a Powershell script from another software

Question

I try to run a Powershell script from TeXworks, a LaTeX editor. The call itself works but I get an error message stating that the execution of scripts is deactivated on this system. I already tried setting the execution-policy to unrestricted or bypass, same result. Same result also when TeXworks was run as admin. I can execute the script manually without problems.

Answer 1

You might be setting the unrestricted in 32bit / 64 bit console and trying it out in 64 bit / 32 bit app. Set it in the right console, or in both.

32-bit
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

64-bit
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

Answer 2

What scope did you set? Try starting PowerShell with administrator privileges and enter this command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy ByPass -Scope LocalMachine
