从Powershell命令提示符启动VS2012包管理器控制台

Question

Is there a way to start the package manager console from either the powershell command prompt or the windows command window?

I have some commands I need to run as administrator, and would rather just run a powershell window as admin instead of shutting down and restarting VS2012 as admin.

Richard is right. One look at NuGet.Console.dll in dotPeek and it is pretty clear it has a lot of required hooks into the Visual Studio object model. Plus, the actual console itself is a WPF UserControl and not a console subsystem app.
