Vista - RC2 - where has System.Management.Automation.dll gone?

Previously System.Management.Automation.dll was located in the PowerShell
install folder, as well as in the GAC. This made it easy to reference from
your VS05 project. But now it's gone, although file
"system.management.automation.dll-help.xml" does exist. Is this absence a
new policy, or an oversight?

Now I have to work out how to reference System.Management.Automation.dll in
the GAC, which turns out not to be so straight forward as I thought!

OK - pretty easy to add the reference. Edit the .csproj file in a text
editor, and add:-

<Reference Include="System.Management.Automation" />

to the relevant section. But it would be nice to have the file back in a
browsable folder location.

BTW: on the subject of editing files in a text editor, I've found (not doubt
others have too) that if you edit a version 8 .sln file, you have to delete
the blank first line that VS erroneously put there when the solution was
created. If you don't do this, it won't be recognised as a proper .sln file
anymore. Hope this is fixed in SP1.

The assemblies are available on a browsable folder location as part of the
Windows SDK.

Thank you sir.

Please also note Jeffrey Snover's one-liner for extracting the RC2 DLLs from
the GAC and putting them into a folder of your choice (use until the proper
RC2 SDK is released):-
