That is great news indeed - maybe I should upgrade my XP to Vista after all?

Hmm, when I try to install it, I get an error message that says "This machine is disabled for file encryption"

Suggestions?

Thanks much guys, job well done! I want to personally thank you for saving me countless hours every day, and for exposing an interface that lets me use the system as if I was a part of it. Truly an example of how one small part changes the whole.

Failed to install Windows6.0-KB928439-x64 (Windows PowerShell 1.0 Installation Package for Windows Vista x64) on Longhorn Server 6001 x64 : "The update does not apply to your system"

On PowerShell website, we can see that this release should work for both Vista/Longhorn... but on the download page, only Vista versions are displayed...

Any idea?

Thanks

Regarding the install failures related to file encryption, this is due to a known issue with the installer.

The workaround is to enable EFS on your machine for a short time and install the package.

To enable EFS, press Windows-R and start gpedit.msc. Browse to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Public Key Policies -> Encrypting File System -> (right-click) Properties, and set the EFS state to “Allow”.

To verify that the above worked, press Windows-R and start rsop.msc. Browse to the same path as above, and verify the setting.

If your domain administrator has disabled EFS, then you will not be able to enable it locally. In that case, you will have to depart the domain, complete the install, then rejoin the domain.

Apologies for the inconvenience. We are working on a fix for the issue.

I updated the great introductory walkthrough document for PowerShell done by Ryan Paul so it's consistent with the release version:

PowerShell for Vista has shipped. http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2007/01/29/windows-powershell-1-0-for-windows-vista.aspx

So bad that this new feature does not apply to the Windows Vista RC2 version ... if someone has any idea ... that would be great to share it !

Many thanks in advance !

Windows PowerShell : Windows PowerShell 1.0 for Windows Vista 다운레벨(XP/2003)로는 1.0이 나왔는데도 비스타에서만 RC 버젼까지만

Et oui avec les sorties de Vista & Office, on en oublie les autres... Parmi les perdus on retrouve

You guys despirately need to update your "main" page... it still shows the Nov version with only RC2!!!

Great product but I was just about to take a major project in a different direction since PS is "obviously so unstrategic at MSFT that they still haven't shipped on Vista 3 months after it RTM'd."

Endlich haben wir PowerShell RTM für Windows Vista. Zeit zu feiern und jubilieren!

I had PowerShell on my XP machine and loved it!  However, I just reloaded my machine with Vista and unfortunately the EFS installer issue is keeping me from successfully installing PowerShell.  The box is joined to our domain. Currently we have EFS turned off via a GPO since we have no Recovery Agents set up yet for the domain (soon perhaps, but not now).  I would love to install PowerShell on my new Vista box, but unjoining my PC from the domain just to install software is a rather large bug, and is not an option in my mind.  When can we expect this issue to be resolved?

This is a great product, and I look forward to using it in the future.  Thanks guys!

I have vista ultimate build 6000 and also get the error "the update does not apply to your system".

Why could that be?

I also get the installer error 'the update does not apply to this system' I'm using the RTM version of Vista Business Edition, English language.

I also get the installer error 'the update does not apply to this system' i'm using longhorn IDX build 6001 x64.

Ihave tried the EFS setup but that didnt help.

Snore! If you were looking for the best week ever, you'd have realized that after my Madison, WI holiday

When will PowerShell be avasilible for Longhorn Server?

I always get the error "Update does not apply to this system" - Running Vista Ultimate.

I get the same error: The update does not apply to your system. I'm running Enterprise version of Vista.

All language links on download page of PowerShell 1.0, points to the same filename.  I've tested the downloaded files and all them have the same MD5SUM.

I've never ever been a supporter for online activation process for any product. Ever. On the one hand

Step right up! Get your fresh PowerShell!

Tried to install powershell x64 version on 2003 enterprise x64 sp2, says the xxxxxenu.exe is not a valid win32 application.

????

What is the deal with this?  Have vista ultimate with sp1 and getting the "Installer encountered an error: -x8007000d The data is invalid."  Did nobody test this package before it was released?  Have not turned on "EFS".  Need to install packages on my workstation that prereq powershell, but, can't because of this error.  Is there a real fix available?  The hotfix in kb933595 is supposed be in sp1.

Got "Windows Update Standalone Installer: Installer encountered and error: 0x8007000d, The data is invalid". I'm using Vista Ultimate SP1 x64. Just did a fresh install and completed all updates, upgraded to Installer 4.5 and .Net Framework 3.5.  Very frustrating.

...I doubt that was it. My office 2k7 is properly activated. (and I just rechecked) and I'm getting the same error code. "0x8007000d The data is invalid. " on Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1.

Still getting "The update does not apply to your system" error when trying to setup the file!!!

Any updates on this subject?
