How to run PowerShell script using QTP

There are two ways to run PowerShell script from QTP as shown below,

• ·         Exec command
• ·         Run Command

The above two methods use WshShell Object to launch other programs.

Run Method:

Run method runs a program in a new process.

'Creates WshShell object and returns it to objShell
Set  objShell=CreateObject("Wscript.shell")

'Runs the PowerShell script
objShell. Run ("powershell -noexit -file c:\fso\email.ps1")
