I am attempting to add a PowerShell cmdlet as an external tool in Visual Studio 2010, but whenever I call the external tool I get:
{foo} cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details.
I have already set my system's execution policy to 'RemoteSigned' (I also tried 'Bypass'), so why is this happening? I am fully able to run that same script if I open up a command line and call it via powershell.exe path\to\script.ps1 (which is exactly what my external tool definition is calling).

Once it is saved as a PS1, VS Code will identify the file as a PowerShell script. From there, you can execute the PowerShell script by press F5 . You can also click the Run button on the top right of the editor. To run a select, you can press F8 or right click on the selection and click the Run Selection option.
Start in Visual Studio Open Visual Studio. On the menu bar, select Tools > Command Line > Developer Command Prompt or Developer PowerShell.
Are you running on a x64 system? If so, you have to set the execution for both x86 and x64 PowerShell. You can also pass the ExecutionPolicy directly as a parameter to Powershell (2.0) via the command line:
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Command "&{ foo }"
