Troubleshooting and Tips

Run As Administrator

Press the Windows Key on your keyboard and start typing cmd.exe, when the cmd.exe icon shows up in the search list right click it to bring up the context menu, select "select Run As Administrator"
Now you have an admin prompt navigate to to the folder where you have unpacked your WhereScape Source Enablement Pack to using the 'cd' command:
C:\Windows\system32> cd <full path to the unpacked folder>
Run Powershell (.ps1) scripts from the administrator prompt by typing the Powershell run script command, for example:
C:\temp\EnablementPack>Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install_Source_Enablement_Pack.ps1

Windows Powershell Script Execution

On some systems, Windows Powershell script execution is disabled by default. There are a number of several workarounds for this which can be found by searching the term "Powershell Execution Policy".
Here is the most common workaround which that WhereScape suggests, which does not permanently change the execution rights:
Start a Windows CMD prompt as Administrator, change the directory to your script directory, and run the WhereScape Powershell scripts with this command:

• cmd:>Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\<script_file_name.ps1>

Restarting failed scripts

Some of the setup scripts will track each step and output the step number when there is a failure. To restart from the failed step (or to skip the step) provide the parameter "parameter -startAtStep <step number>" to the script.
Example: 
Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\<script_file_name.ps1> -startAtStep 123 Tip: to

If a valid RED installation can not be found

If you have Red 8.6.1.x or higher installed but the script (install_Source_Enablement_Pack.ps1) fails to find it on you your system then you are most likely running the PowerShell (x86) version which does not show installed 64-bit apps by default. Please open a 64-bit version of PowerShell instead and re-run the script
