'Add-PathVariable' is not recognized

Open Amadeus- opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I'm using Windows 10 and just installed Powershell 6.2.2. Using your profile, I get a lot of error messages that indicate that 'Add-PathVariable' is not recognized:

Add-PathVariable : The term 'Add-PathVariable' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At C:\Users\A\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1:7 char:1
+ Add-PathVariable "${env:ProgramFiles}\PowerShell\6-preview"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Add-PathVariable:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

There are 18 of these errors; all indicating that Add-PathVariable isn't recognized.

Do you have PSCX installed?

I did not; however, installing that did seem to fix the issue. I didn't see that it was a requirement.

Thanks.

No probs. I'll make sure the docs are more explicit.
