Improved Module Loading in Windows Powershell profile.

ImprovedPowershellLoading.ps1

#Add the profile path to the environment path variable
$ProfileRoot = (Split-Path -Parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path)
$env:path = ";$ProfileRoot"

#Load all of the modules from ./Modules/* that aren't already loaded. 
(gci $ProfileRoot"/Modules") | ForEach { if ( -Not( Get-Module $_.Name ) ) { Import-Module $_.Name; Write-Host Importing Module: $_.Name }  }

Stick this in your Powershell Profile and it will automatically load all of the modules that you've stuck in you WindowsPowerShell\Modules folder.

So for example to install the foo.dll module automaticall on powershell startup put it here:
~\My Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\foo\foo.dll

Then when you next load up powershell it will be automatically imported.
Also if you .source your profile then it won't try to load modules that are already there which throws an exception.

Pretty sure this will break existing paths, don't you mean this?

$env:path += ";$ProfileRoot"
