Have encountered a backwards compatibility bug that breaks some of my existing PowerShell 1 functions. PowerShell 2 seems to handle $Args differently. For example:

function Test-Args { "Args: $Args" }

With PowerShell 1:

PS> Test-Args One Two Three --Switch

Args: One Two Three --Switch

With PowerShell 2 CTP:

PS> Test-Args One Two Three --Switch

Args: One Two Three Switch

Notice th missing "--" on the Switch argument. Can anyone explain the difference? and how to get the PowerShell 1 behaviour in PowerShell 2?

I have installed PS2.0 CTP without uninstalling V1.0. And then I uninstalled V1.0 and V2.0 and will reinstall V2.0 again. But I can not do than, because EvendID 867. And I see, the certificate of the V2.0-Package is blocked from his publisher, that is microsoft. Where is it wrong? And how can I do istall it?

Thanks for reporting this, Andrew.

This is an issue with the V2 CTP, and has since been resolved.

In the future, the PowerShell Connect site is an even better place to report issues.

I own a Greek Windows XP SP 2 version

I try to install WS-management 1.1 (in order to install Powershell v2 CT) but the installer complains that my System Language is different than the package i am trying to install.

I tried to find a solution but nothing came up.

Is there any solution?

Thank you

PS CTP 2 requires winrm with a wsmsvc.dll version 6.0.6001.18.089 or greater.

How do I uninstall the dll if I have a previous one ? (Windows Vista)

Thanks

Powershell v2 CTP uninstall error

PowerShell v2 CTP will not uninstall after an upgrade to Windows Vista SP2 RC. Since this OS is not a supported OS for PowerShell v2 CTP. Since PowerShell v2 CTP2/3 will not remove the old version, I'm stuck in no man's land with no way to upgrade PowerShell until Vista SP2 comes out. It would be nice if manual uninstall information was made available in someplace users could find.

You can manually delete the POwerShell folder (after taking ownership from Trusted Instaler) under C:\windows\system32\windowspowershell

and the powershell registry entries under hklm:\software\microsoft\powershell

That should do the trick

Thanks for the blog. It helped me remove Powershell 1.0 from Win server 2008.

How do you upgrade to V2 on Server 2008 if other features are dependent on Powershell? I removed Powershell using Features, and was forced to also remove another feature that is dependent on Powershell (Windows Server Backup Features, Command line tools). Then I installed V2. When I tried to enable the Command line tools, it forced me to install Powershell (V1). Now it appears V2 is no longer on the server.

Windows Update is disabled via group policy on our servers, so I can't check to see if an upgrade is available.
