Comments on: PowerShell 2.0 for Windows XP etc. http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2009/11/02/powershell-2-0-for-windows-xp-etc/ The blog of John D. Cook Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:42:11 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Gronkey Kong http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2009/11/02/powershell-2-0-for-windows-xp-etc/comment-page-1/#comment-135031 Gronkey Kong Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:48:28 +0000 http://www.johndcook.com/blog/?p=3574#comment-135031 That last post took me to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2008/12/30/download-windows-powershell.aspx which under Windows PowerShell 2.0 CTP3 only has a generic link to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/default.aspx which did not help me as there are many downloads that contain "PowerShell 2.0" string and none that contain "Windows PowerShell 2.0 CTP3". Bu I see now that your XP link is perfectly valid. At the time I was not expecting a Window Update, but now I know better. I'm still confused about whether or not I need to uninstall PowerShell 1.0 before running Update for Windows XP (KB968930) But I'll figure it out eventually. My purpose for PowerShell 2.0 at present is to automate some tasks against a SharePoint 2010 List. I need to change properties/attributes of the SP List normally done manually through browser. That last post took me to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2008/12/30/download-windows-powershell.aspx

But PowerShell is bundled with WinRM because some of the new features in PowerShell 2.0 are implemented using WinRM. Adam: That is unfortunate if you want to minimize what you install.

Uninstalling the old version was something your were supposed to do during the CTP. But I did not see that in the release notes of the RTM. On my machine I had issues when the two powershell version were side by side. My remote desktop permissions stopped working. The issue resolved when I uninstalled 1.0 and installed 2.0. So maybe it varies with environment.... Not completely sure I guess. Uninstalling the old version was something your were supposed to do during the CTP.

If it wasn't for the twitter chatter, and that I REALLY want psh for XP, I might have missed it. I thought the same thing when I looked at that announcement.
