Why doesn't my GUI appear when running from powershell.exe -file?

I am writing a Powershell script utilizing WPF with the methods shown here: http://learn-powershell.net/2012/10/14/powershell-and-wpf-writing-data-to-a-ui-from-a-different-runspace/.

My script runs perfectly when I execute it from the within Powershell comand line as ".\Test.ps1." If I attempt to launch the same script from, for instance, a batch file like so:

powershell.exe -file D:\Test.ps1

Powershell launches and shortly exits thereafter, without displaying the GUI. I'm guessing this has something to do with the runspaces but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

try running it like this: `powershell.exe -sta -file D:\Test.ps1` – CB. May 16 '14 at 13:26
Unfortunately it looks like it's experencing the same issue – cjones26 May 16 '14 at 13:35
Might need to add -NoExit in order for this to work properly `powershell.exe -NoExit -sta -file D:\Test.ps1` – boeprox Aug 27 '15 at 13:06
