Install Help for Windows PowerShell
How to install help for Windows PowerShell? I am getting the "Get-Help cannot find the Help files for this cmdlet on this computer" error.
✍: FYIcenter.com
By default, help files are not installed for Windows PowerShell.
So if you run the help command, you will get the syntax-only help
and the "Get-Help cannot find the Help files for this cmdlet on this computer".
For example:
PS C:\Users\fyicenter> help get-date NAME Get-Date SYNTAX Get-Date [[-Date] <datetime>] [-Year <int>] [-Month <int>] ... ALIASES None REMARKS Get-Help cannot find the Help files for this cmdlet on this computer. It is displaying only partial help. -- To download and install Help files for the module that includes this cmdlet, use Update-Help. -- To view the Help topic for this cmdlet online, type: "Get-Help Get-Date -Online" or go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113313.
To install the help information, you need to run the "Update-Help" command in Windows PowerShell as an administrator:
1. Type "Windows PowerShell" in the Windows search box.
2. Right-click on "Windows PowerShell" in the search match list and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
3. Run the "Update-Help" command at the Windows PowerShell prompt. It will download and install help information from Microsoft server one module at a time.
PS C:\Users\fyicenter> update-help Updating Help for module DirectAccessCli Locating Help Content... ...
After the installation is done, the "help" command will return full help information. For example:
PS C:\Users\fyicenter> help get-date NAME Get-Date SYNOPSIS Gets the current date and time. SYNTAX Get-Date [[-Date] <datetime>] [-Year <int>] [-Month <int>] ... DESCRIPTION The Get-Date cmdlet gets a DateTime object that represents the current date or a date that you specify. It can format the date and time in several Windows and UNIX formats. You can use Get-Date to generate a date or time character string, and then send the string to other cmdlets or programs. RELATED LINKS Online Version: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=293966 New-TimeSpan Set-Date REMARKS To see the examples, type: "get-help Get-Date -examples". For more information, type: "get-help Get-Date -detailed". For technical information, type: "get-help Get-Date -full". For online help, type: "get-help Get-Date -online"
