Vista - the update does not apply to your system

Hi,

I'm running vista business and was trying to install powershell but i keep
getting the error "the update does not apply to your system"

i have been looking around on the internet and this seems to be related to
the version of vista i'm running of but i can't seem to solve it.

I have downloaded the RTP version of powershell for vista 32bit

my vista buildis: 6000.16386.x86fre.vista_rtm.061101-2205

does anyone know where i could downloade the powershell version i need or
how to solve this issue?

thanks,

Tom

I'm running 32bit PowerShell on 32bit Windows Vista Business edition. I
downloaded and installed it without any difficulty. Which version of
PowerShell did you download & obvious question do you have .NET v2.0
installed?

Hi Richard,

I used the x86 download link on this page
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv.../download.mspx

I just double checked and yes .net 2.0 is already installed on my system.

where I had already installed it! Start/run/powershell will quickly tell
you.

It might also be the wrong CPU issue - are you running X64 vs I386
version of the OS?

loooooool,

ok, somebody should come to my office and slap me on the head.
Powershell was already on the system and i didn't realise or see.

any case, thanks a bundle for pointing this out to me.
