The PowerShell assembly makes use of ServiceProvider from Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.dll. For the .NET 4 build this needs to be the VS2010 version. However, it is not currently required that we have this installed on our build machines. To work around this the assembly is found and resolved dynamically at runtime, but this may not be the best approach. We need to:
- Determine which is the "correct" version to use for both VS10 and VS11, and possibly future
- Determine if this should be done statically at build time or dynamically at runtime
- If the correct thing to do is use static binding, then figure out the best way to get the assembly onto dev machines and update CodePlex instructions appropriately
