What is Windows PowerShell ISE?

Windows PowerShell ISE (Integrated Scripting Environment) is a host application that enables you to write, run, and test scripts and modules in a graphical and intuitive environment. Key features such as syntax-coloring, tab completion, visual debugging, Unicode compliance, and context-sensitive Help provide a rich scripting experience.

Features in Windows PowerShell ISE include:

• The ability to run interactive commands in a console pane, just as you would in the Windows PowerShell console. Simply type a command, and then press ENTER.
• The ability to create, edit, debug, and run functions, workflows, scripts, and modules in a script pane.
• Multiple Windows PowerShell tabs, each with its own console and script panes, which enables you to simultaneously work on several independent tasks.
• The ability to edit text in complex scripts and right-to-left languages.
