Yesterday I formatted my computer and did a fresh install as it was due from a long time. After the fresh install when I tried to install Semantic Search application using PowerShell, I was stopped by the following error. The error was related to an execution of scripts.
File cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Please see “get-help about_signing” for more details
Fix/Solution/Workaround:
The solution is very simple. Open the Powershell window and type following two lines and everything will fine right after that.
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Again, this is I have done for my environment where I am very careful what I will run. You can change the policy back to an original restricted policy if you want to restrict future execution of the PowerShell scripts.
Simple – isn’t it? Well, all complex looking problems are very simple to solve.
