Use different techniques to determine a PowerShell script's directory: try `$PSScriptRoot`, `$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path`, `$ExecutionContext.SessionState.Module.Path` and `$PWD`.
function Get-ScriptPath {
$scritDir = Get-Variable PSScriptRoot -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | ForEach-Object { $_.Value }
if (!$scriptDir) {
if ($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path) {
$scriptDir = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path -Parent
}
}
if (!$scriptDir) {
if ($ExecutionContext.SessionState.Module.Path) {
$scriptDir = Split-Path (Split-Path $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Module.Path)
