I cannot upgrade to Vista because I cannot uninstall PowerShell 1.

Have XP w/SP3, cannot see PowerShell in Program list or hotfix. set HKEY...
to 0 per previous threads, no luck.

how can I install Vista if it keeps saying to delete PowerShell which I
never knowingly installed and cannot find?

Try this, maybe it will work on Vista too. It's what I had to do to
uninstall Powershell V1 from WinXP before I could install PS V2 CTP3.

It is not listed as powershell, bur rather as an update (KB928439). See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950376 for details.

Thanks for the responses. I had previously read the referenced articles but
they all require the program list to display power shell which it does not. I
was able to fix the problem by deleting the main power shell registry entry
and the program's folder.
