Calling powershell script from batch file

To call a PowerShell script from a batch file, you can use the powershell.exe command followed by the -File parameter.
How to run a PowerShell script from a batch file?
First, You need to create a PowerShell script file (e.g., script.ps1
).
For example:
Write-Host "Hello from PowerShell!"
Next, create a batch file (e.g., run_script.bat
) to call the PowerShell script.
For example:
@echo off powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\path\to\your\script.ps1" pause
You need the -ExecutionPolicy parameter.
If you don't use the -File
parameter when calling a PowerShell script, PowerShell interprets the entire line as a command to execute. Since Set-ExecutionPolicy
is a cmdlet and doesn't have a -File
parameter, this leads to an error. Always specify -File
when executing scripts to avoid this issue.
@echo off
: Prevents the commands from being displayed in the command prompt.powershell.exe
: Calls the PowerShell executable.-ExecutionPolicy Bypass
: Temporarily bypasses the execution policy, allowing your script to run even if it’s not signed.-File "C:\path\to\your\script.ps1"
: Specifies the path to your PowerShell script.pause
: Keeps the command prompt open so you can see any output before it closes.
To execute the batch file, simply double-click it, and it should run the PowerShell script.
