title: TFS Build: `Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell' is not installed on this computer
body: <p>When I'm logged in to tfs build server using local account and execute following powershell command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it loads the tfs cmdlets correctly. However, when I trigger a build on tfs server that invokes the script, it fails with message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell' is not installed on this computer.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The build agent runs under service account. What should I do?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>:
  I had to edit the reqistry entry from the first link in @Alexis Coles' answer to make it work with version 2015 of TFS PowerTools:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell]
  "PowerShellVersion"="4.0"

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Double check <code>AssemblyName</code>, <code>ApplicationBase</code>, <code>ModuleName</code> and <code>Version</code> entries. Script above works with <strong>Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools</strong></p>
