But I am not able to find the azure powershell. I checked in porgrams

Please help as soon as posible
thanks in advance…
Answer:
For anyone reading this:
I often experienced the same. I check the start menu after the installation of Azure Powershell via Web Platform Installer and there is nothing. In my opinion, the WPI only installs the cmdlets, no executable. WPI installs the cmdlets in this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\PowerShell
It is very important that you reboot your machine after the successful installation. You might even have to reboot during the installation if WPI tells you to and then restart the WPI until its completely finished.
After a reboot the cmdlets should be available in your normal Powershell.exe. Check if they are available by using:
|
1 2 |
Get-Command *Azure* |
or
|
1 2 |
Get-Module *Azure* |
I got frustrated by this several times and thats why I composed a blog post that explains the installation of Azure Powershell via WPI.
