Uninstalling powershell

I've tried to uninstall windows powreshell. but the it's not listing under
the "updates" tab of Add Remove Program list. What can I do now? I'd like to
try the new beta version. Is there any method to remove it?

Regards,
Sarath

Re: Uninstalling powershell

I'm not sure if Office 2007 Service Pack can cause the *damage, I meant any
OS service pack?

Try to remember it's important, this link explains why:

Re: Uninstalling powershell

Check the %WINDIR%\svcpack.log, see if you can find when the last SP was
installed.

Re: Uninstalling powershell

OK. I doubt the following point.

I dint uninstall powershell 1.0. but I tried installing CTP release.
on the first attempt it asked me to install WS MAN and provided a link for
that and I installed that. On the next time I tried the setup again. This
time it said like previous version of PowerShell should be removed before
installing this version. when I looked in to the updates page, it's not
showing anything to uninstall powershell.

Re: Uninstalling powershell

On my computer, PowerShell CTP doesn't show in the "Updates" section.
It appears as a regular application by the name of "Windows PowerShell(TM)
V2 (CTP), can you
locate such entry?

Re: Uninstalling powershell

I'm not sure about the CTP, but Powershell 1.0 should be listed as a Windows
component/feature.
Go into Add/Remove Programs and look at the list of Windows components. You
should see an entry named "Windows Powershell." Just uncheck that entry and
save changes to uninstall Powershell.

Re: Uninstalling powershell

Just a word of caution...PowerShell 2.0 is not in beta yet. It is in a CTP
form, which is pre-beta. I only mention this to make sure you understand so
that your expectations aren't too high. You can read all about the CTP on
the PowerShell blog.
