Running powershell script from solution explorer inside Nuget Package Manager Console

• double clicking on the file
• right click / open with
• custom action on the context menu

Answer 1

Since the previous answer was posted this very simple package came about which does exactly what is needed:

• https://bitbucket.org/mhinze/solutionscripts/src/d3651b843e3d/tools/init.ps1
• http://nuget.org/packages/solutionscripts

In short, install the package and place those scripts in a folder called SolutionScripts.

We followed up on this question at http://nuget.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=239161.

To summarize, try using an init.ps1 file. Look at the MvcScaffold package for a good example of this.
