Running Powershell Application on Other computers

I will try this again. I can only get my .exe to run on the computer which created it and select other ones. Even once a application has been built into an .exe is it necessary that the computer it is run on still has powershell studio? Right now the executable will only run on computers with powershell studio, I am not sure if it is because these other computers are lacking a library or something along those lines or if every computer that I want to run it needs powershell studio. This as I have asked around is actually an issue with other executables which have been made from powershell studio so the problem is not exclusive to my code, which if necessary I can show some of. However I think it is more of an issue with the settings in the .exe builder which is something I am very new to and do not fully understand what or if I need to get it to work properly.I currently have left all the settings in the builder as the default settings so I am sure it is something in there that needs to be looked at I am just at a loss as for what.

Not a problem, just recompile it targeting the lowest common denominator. If you are on Powershell v3, but have some clients on v2, you'll need to recompile targeting v2.

To recompile, go into Sapien Studio and look for the drop down box on the ribbon, it probably says v3 - 64bit, change that to v2 -64bit and recompile. Good luck.

Alternatively you could install powershell v3 on those other machines and not need to recompile. That would also be the answer if you have to use a v3 cmdlet that simply does not exist in v2.

Noted: Future readers may also run into issues with x86/x64 bitness and system32 folder, if you are getting redirected into syswow64 sandbox, recompile 2 versions, one for 32bit, one for 64.
