Where can I download Powershell 2.0 for Windows 7?
I have spent the better part of a day hunting the Internet looking forr a way to download Powershell 2.0 to my already Win7 environment. Windows 7 is supposed to come with PS 2.0 however - I have 1.0.
How do you upgrade Powershell when there is no download made specifically for Windows 7?
Solution 1:
I suspect that you really have 2.0. The 2.0 version installs in a directory named 1.0 which often causes this confusion. In a PS session type:
$host.version
And I suspect that you will see:
Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
2 0 -1 -1

Solution 3:
PowerShell 2.0 ships with Windows 7 in the box.
Version 2.0 is integrated with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and is released for Windows XP with Service Pack 3, Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista with Service Pack 1.
