Powershell ExecutionPolicy is wrong when run through VisualStudio

Question

I am trying to run a powershell script as part of my Pre-Build on a VS2005 project. I have run

$> powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted

from a command line before the build and I can run the same script from from the command line. However when the script is run as part of the Pre-Build step it fails with

The execution of scripts is disabled on this system. 
Please see “get-help about_signing” for more details.

The script works on a co-worker's x32 XP machine, but not on my x64 Windows7 machine.

Did you set the execution policy in both the 64 and 32 bit Powershell environments? Your 64 bit machine will have both, and each has it's own executionpolicy setting.

64-bit will run by default on a 64-bit machine. To set it for 32-bit, you need to run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe (Source: kb.paessler.com/en/topic/…)
