How can I use PowerShell with the Visual Studio Command Prompt?

Question

I\'ve been using Beta 2 for a while now and it\'s been driving me nuts that I have to punt to cmd.exe when running the VS2010 Command Prompt. I used to have a nice vsvars200

Answer 1

I like to pass the commands into a child shell like so:

cmd /c "`"${env:VS140COMNTOOLS}vsvars32.bat`" && "

Or alternatively

cmd /c "`"${env:VS140COMNTOOLS}..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat`" amd64 &&  && "
