# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

Fantastic, didn't realise it is now part of the Windows SDK. On the PowerShell download page there's still a link to the standalone pre-release SDK.

# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

Hi,

is there a download possibility for the complete SDK? These "on demand"-Setup is annoying because everybody who wants to install in our enterprise does the same download over and over again.

Thanx :-)

There's a link to the DVD ISO version in the Instructions section of the web page.

# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

I'm the writer for the SDK documentation and I just wanted to mention that the SDK and a Windows PowerShell Programmer'Guide is available on MSDN.

In fact, a new feature that has been added to MSDN is a Wiki section at the bottom of each topic for your use. Please add any content you would like to share with the PowerShell community in that space. I'll be monitoring that space and updating my content for the next release of MSDN.

# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

But where can I get all the assemblies, tools and templates. Right now i am working out of the GAC

# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

I downloaded the Windows 6.0 SDK and installed it as indicated in the screenshot.  I'm running WinXP SP2, and VS2005 SP1.  How come the assemblies that are installed in the GAC (namely System.Management.Automation) aren't showing up as options when I try to reference them in my C# project?  Am I missing an install step here?

Reference assemnblies are installed as part of SDK installation under 'Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft'

# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

Is there an SDK for Windows XP? Vista doesn't like my dual monitor display adapter :(

# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

The SDK works on Windows XP as well.

# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

How come I don't see folder \Reference Assemblies.  I ran XP.  Do I need to reboot after SDK installation?

Thanks

# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

When you use Powershell and look at the audit logs how do you know who made changes using this application?  Is there a certain reference number or something?

Thanks

# re: Windows PowerShell SDK

I got the logs and see who and what made the changes.

Thanks
