About the PowerShell Proxy Extensions Module

Create proxy functions without writing proxy command internals with the PowerShell Proxy Extensions module. Creating proxy functions has never been easier!

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 in the following location:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\pspx.

The ZIP file contents need to be manually extracted to one of the paths that is included as part of the PSModulePath environment variable. Typically users will unzip the contents of the ZIP file into the following folder:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules *

• If the directory doesn't exist then you need to manually create it.
