Windows XP - I do not have an entry in Add/Remove programs for Powershell V1.0 (Windows PowerShell(TM) 1.0.)nor do I have entries for KB926139. Powershell v1.0 is installed and running.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Powershell\1\Install is set to 1.

How do I Uninstall?

Thank you,

This is a very important milestone for PowerShell. The CTP contains great work on several fronts.

Fred,

Make sure you have "Show Updates" checked. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that is where it will show up.

I've just gotten into the notion of changing my career path to more on the development side, since I've enjoyed PHP and vbScript quite a bit.

I'm not much of a developer in any means. Looking at the bit of PowerShell I've played with so far... looks like it'd be a good springboard in to other languages as well. Am I correct in that thought? Any tips, tricks, ideas in helping the learning curve here would not be tossed to the side either (picked up a copy of Bruce Payette's book as a starting point).

I had no practical experience with .NET before coming to PowerShell. I think PowerShell is a great starting point to try to get your head around .NET via C#. Bruce's book is very good, and getting a good solid knowledge of PowerShell is good before trying to dig into programming. If you think of it, you're programming in PowerShell when you start calling the .NET framework. Check out my blog, leave a comment. I'd be happy to try to help you learn and maybe help others.

I'm so excited!

Please help; I can't uninstall Version 1. I check the "Show Updates" box but it nor the patches are displayed. I see I am not the only one having a problem. I am running XP-Pro. Can I just remove some registry entries and a directory? I am anxious to try the CTP.

SpikeKnox,

If you updated your machine to W2K3-SP2 after installing PowerShell 1.0, you might be seeing the issue as mentioned at http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2007/03/19/windows-server-2003-sp2-upgrade.aspx.

If that is the case, you might be able to find the uninstaller at %windir%\$ntuninstallkb<KBNUMBER>$\spuninstall\spuninstall.exe.

PowerShell v2.0 CTP is here

LA.NET [EN] — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:49:31 GMT

When v1.0 was in beta, I used to really love it (and I still do!). The PowerShell blog has just announced

[help] spuninstall.exe is not exist -_-!

SpikeKnox — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 04:38:26 GMT

Thanks PowerShellTeam,

I just find two exe in %windir%\$ntuninstallkb<KBNUMBER>$

C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB926140$\PSCustomSetupUtil.exe

C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB926140$\PSSetupNativeUtils.exe

I removed powershell entries in registry and reinstall KB926140 again, but it doesn't work.

BTW machine to W2K3-SP2 is before installing PowerShell 1.0.

Get-Help : Cannot find Help for topic "about_remoting".

re: What's New in CTP of PowerShell 2.0 - Better ACL management?

Pete Gomersall — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 20:14:55 GMT

Hi there at the PowerShell Team,

Great job so far-

I am hoping that the fuctionality for managing both local and remote NTFS permissions is or can be improved in version 2. I really have to revert to using xcacls.vbs to truly manage permissions properly. get-acls & set-acl really need to do all xcacls do - without the saving to file and re-applying that the current v1 commandlet do. If the xcacls functionality/simplicity could be incorporated - it would be awesome - for me at least!

I also had the same problem about using "get-help".

I copy all the files in the

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\en-US" to the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0"

, and it works.

Windows XP-SP2 and Windows Server 2003: Under Add/Remove Program, select the option to show updates. Remove the PowerShell updates as applicable for your system: KB926139 (en-us),KB926140 (localized), KB926141 (MUI pack)

None of these exsist with my windows 2003 installation. Can't remove powershell 1.0

inorder to update to powershell 2, if I delete the reg key will that allow me to install.

Greg: Deleting the registry key would do the trick. But if I were you, I would install 1.0 after deleting the registry key and do a clean uninstall before installing V2 CTP

I can't get gpowershell (the graphical interface) to work. No matter what I run it in - a Command window, a PowerShell v.2.0 window or just by clicking on it in Explorer, it refuses to do anything at all. By the way, I'm running XP SP2, x64. What is the secret?

The Microsoft.Public.Windows.PowerShell newsgroup is the best place to ask support-type questions. When you place a post there, include what problems you see. (e.g. you don't get a window or you get a window but you get an error, etc).

Excellent job on the 2.0 version. I especially like the [ADSISearcher] type accelerator. In version 1.0 I had to do some extra stuff to get this to work.

Speaking of ADSI, here is a suggestion for PowerShell version 3.0. Simply stated how about a built-in PowerShell Directory Service provider. So I can do things like:

Set-Location LDAP://CN=Users,DC=ACME,DC=COM

Get-ChildItem LDAP://CN=Users,DC=ACME,DC=COM

Remove-Item LDAP://CN=JDoe,CN=Users,DC=ACME,DC=COM

Sure seems like a perfect fit.

Powershell????? Isnt this supposed to make things easier for us Admin types who are not developers? How is having to install Powershell on remote computers to use the remoting features supposed to work in real life? Scenario: I have admin rights across multiple domains and need to discover stuff about hundreds of remote servers, am I supposed to first install powershell on the very servers I want to discover? These may be critical production servers and getting approval for this type of change is not trivial.

re: What's New in CTP of PowerShell 2.0

PowerShellTeam — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:19:44 GMT

@rod955i

NO and YES

NO: PowerShell will work against remote machines that don't have PS installed on them by using WMI, WSMAN any other cmdlets which do their own remoting.

YES: There is only so far you can go with those cmdlets and you'll be able to do orders of magnitude more by installing PS on all youre machines.

There are a zillion products, tools, utilities for installing a new piece of SW on all the machines in your network (e.g. System Center Configuration Manager).
