About the PowerShell Proxy Extensions Module
A powerful module that leverages proxy functions and makes it easier than ever to create these powerful extensions to PowerShell. The module allows you to create everything from very simple proxy functions that extend PowerShell to more complex proxy functions that override and extend existing cmdlets.
The module can be installed automatically by downloading the MSI package or manually by downloading a ZIP file. The MSI package will install the module under your Documents folder (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\pspx). The ZIP file contains the module files only and you need to extract its content to one of two places:
- %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
- %WINDIR%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules (need admin privileges)
- If the directory tree (of one of the above) doesn't exist then you should manually create it.
Prerequisites
Windows PowerShell 2.0
