EnvDTE.DTE _ObjDTE;
_ObjDTE = (EnvDTE.DTE)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE");
      var script = "Get-Package | Select-Object Id, LicenseUrl";
      _ObjDTE.ExecuteCommand("View.PackageManagerConsole", script);

If the user, 6 years ago, was writing their own IDE, why on earth would you require the user to install Visual Studio to use it?

The console inside Visual Studio is no different from a Powershell window. So why force the requirement of the DTE object library on it?
