PowerShell-SPCmdlets

SharePoint 2010, SharePoint 2013, and SharePoint 2016 custom PowerShell cmdlets.

Referenced Assemblies

See How to Build Office Developer Tools Projects with TFS Team Build 2012 for information related to using global assembly paths for project builds (Thanks to @softwarecraft for the suggestion and link). If you build from a machine without SharePoint installed then you'll also need to make sure the correct version of the Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell assembly and any dependent assemblies are loaded into memory if you want the help files to get generated (I recommend just using a machine with SharePoint installed on it).

Assembly References

If building from a SharePoint 2010 machine then you should copy the SharePoint 2016 assemblies to a global assemblies reference folder and add the following registry key to point to the folder:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v3.5\AssemblyFoldersEx\SharePoint 2016]@="<AssemblyFolderLocation>"

Do the same with the SharePoint 2013 assemblies:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v3.5\AssemblyFoldersEx\SharePoint 2013]@="<AssemblyFolderLocation>"

If building from a SharePoint 2013 machine then you should copy the SharePoint 2016 assemblies to a global assemblies reference folder and add the following registry key to point to the folder:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.5\AssemblyFoldersEx\SharePoint 2016]@="<AssemblyFolderLocation>"

Do the same with the SharePoint 2010 assemblies:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v3.5\AssemblyFoldersEx\SharePoint 2010]@="<AssemblyFolderLocation>"

If building from a SharePoint 2016 machine then you should copy the SharePoint 2013 assemblies to a global assemblies reference folder and add the following registry key to point to the folder:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.5\AssemblyFoldersEx\SharePoint 2013]@="<AssemblyFolderLocation>"

Do the same with the SharePoint 2010 assemblies:
