Include script not working when the powershell script is invoked from C#

I have a power shell script which has include script in it as below.

. "$PSScriptRoot\CheckPermissions.ps1"

When the script is invoked from c#, I am getting this error

{The term '\CheckPermissions.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.}

The script works fine when run from PS window.

Is not $PSScriptRoot variable available when script is run from c#?

Try the below code

$scriptpath = "your second file path"
$psContent = @(Get-Content $scriptPath)
[string]$psCmd = $psContent -join "`n"
$secondscriptoutput = iex $psCmd
$secondscriptoutput #output returned by second file

Myinvocation will not work when ps scripts are invoked from c# code. Please mark this as answer if it works for you. Thanks!

You could try using the following to get the script directory:

$scriptDir = Split-Path $script:MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path

Note that the folder path returned will end with a backslash (\).
