Would the real PowerShell V2 stand up?

January 21st, 2010 by Karl

There is alot of confusion about which PowerShell V2 to download. The problem is if you search for Download PowerShell V2, the most prominent hits are PowerShell V2 CTP – basically an Old Beta. Microsoft has to keep that up because there are production things that actually use that (like outlook@edu) . The best URL path to follow is to go to Microsofts official PowerShell Page at http://www.microsoft.com/powershell and follow the download page links from there.
if you want to go directly to the V2 Download page now though here is a direct link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929

One of the reasons why it doesn’t show up is the install isn’t just PowerShell but packaged with WinRM (and optionally Bits 4.0) as something called “Windows Management Framework” . This is good to know and remember since that is what will show up in your add/remove programs if you ever need to remove it.
