Let me get this straight, Vista (Microsoft's revolutionary new OS) and PowerShell (Microsoft's revolutionary new scripting language) DO NOT WORK TOGETHER! What?!? Did someone not inform the PowerShell team that Vista is done? Windows XP is old, who cares if powershell works on XP. If it doesn't work on Vista then it's as good as junk.

Bruce Garrick — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 21:31:03 GMT

I cannot install this. I have RC1 version installed and there is no uninstall. And no uninstaller.

It refuses to install saying I have to uninstall the earlier version but there is no way to do that. It isn't under Add/Remove Programs. There is no uninstall in the C:\Windows\System32\windowspowershell directory. If you delete the directory then the installer STILL complains and refuese to install it.

So how do I uninstall RC1 version so it will allow me to install this release version?

Now all we want is the PowerShell that works on Windows Vista RTM (Build 6000). I'm shocked they don't even got a build for Vista RC2, only RC1.

What's this? Locking out those who are not MSDN subscribers or what? I'm sure if I had the money I would pay double MSDN subscription to get what I want, but it's a real world and not everyone are millionaires.

To uninstall Windows PowerShell 1.0, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click OK. (or alternativly run Software from System Settings)

2. Click to select the Show updates check box (on the top in the middle).

3. In the Currently installed programs list, click Windows PowerShell(TM) 1.0, and then click Remove.

4. Follow the instructions to remove Windows PowerShell(TM) 1.0.

re: It's a Wrap! Windows PowerShell 1.0 Released!

Scott — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 02:52:25 GMT

um, yeah, good job Microsoft. Releasing Powershell for XP and not for the new flagship RTM version OS is as much crap as releasing Zune without support for Vista or the Xbox 360. Oh yeah, and Windows Mobile doesn't sync with Vista or play well with the Xbox 360. So much for interoperability...

Shouldn't a "RTM" OS have the intended functionality of as much interoperabiltiy as the prior OS?

re: It's a Wrap! Windows PowerShell 1.0 Released!

tlongman — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 03:12:07 GMT

I'm now upgrading to the released version of PowerShell. The upgrade requires that previous versions be uninstalled; the version I have is RC2.

In several places, I found uninstall instructions which say:

"Note If Windows PowerShell 1.0 is installed on the computer, you must remove Windows PowerShell 1.0 before you install the Windows PowerShell 1.0 localized update package. To remove Windows PowerShell 1.0, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click OK.

2. Click to select the Show updates check box.

3. In the Currently installed programs list, click Windows PowerShell(TM) 1.0, and then click Remove.

4. Follow the instructions to remove the Windows PowerShell(TM) 1.0 program."

Well, on my XP Pro x64, there is no entry for PowerShell in the usual add/remove programs list, nor is there any place I can find that is the "Show Updates" check box.

The Windows Installer Cleanup facility does not list PowerShell as being installed, so I can't remove it that way.

I'm really missing something, as it doesn't seem that others have had this problem, but I'm STUCK.

Thanks, Tom

Uninstall Issues

dave "davman" anderson — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 03:00:44 GMT

The Powershell install is actually a KB install. Currently it is KB926139, however I could not find that KB number in my windows directory. After fishing around a bit, I found:

C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB925228$\spuninst

Uninstalling this one got the old PS install off my box. I was then able to install the new one. Apparently the CTPs had different KB numbers than the current one. The file to look for to let you know which KB is the right one would be "PSCustomSetupUtil.exe".

Let me redirect you to the newsgroup Microsoft.Public.Windows.PowerShell. Post the problem there along with the specific errors you are getting. That newsgroup is monitored by the the team a community of smart folks with lots of scar tissue. One of them might have encountered the same problem and know how to work around it.

There have been many comments concerning the removal of PowerShell prior to upgrading to Vista. Yes, you can remove PowerShell using the Add/Remove routine; however, to be able to see the entry, you must check the "Show Updates" box and it will show up under "Windows XP - Software Updates".
