    According to the web page, these operating systems are supported:

    WinRM 2.0 and PowerShell 2.0 can be installed on the following supported operating
    systems:

    * Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 2
    * Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2
    * Windows Vista with Service Pack 2
    * Windows Vista with Service Pack 1
    * Windows XP with Service Pack 3

    I notice that Windows XP x64 is not listed. The download link on the page has only one
    link for Windows XP, and it is 32-bit only.

    PowerShell 2.0 CTP3 supported these operating systems:

    * Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2; Windows Server
    2008; Windows Vista Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 3

    This release of Windows PowerShell installs on x86 and x64 platforms of Windows
    XP-SP3, Windows Server 2003-SP2, Windows Vista-SP1, and Windows Server 2008.

    So was Windows XP x64 dropped purposefully, or is this a mistake? Or, will the download
    for Windows Server 2003 x64 work for XP x64, since these two operating systems share a
    common codebase?

    Thanks,
    Chuck

    I don't have time to try this out, but if you have tried and it fails, then
    you're out of luck with v2 as a supported configuration.

    Sorry...

    I'll ask.

    As for XP and 2003 being similar, I wouldn't make that assumption. That's
    the case with Vista and Server 2008, but I don't think it applies
    previously.

    See the comment in
    http://vmjunkie.wordpress.com/2009/1...4-not-so-fast/
    It says that the Server 2003 x64 version installs OK under Windows XP x64.

    Just passing along the comment, I have no experience running XP x64, so I could
    not verify it.

    Thanks Marco,

    tried and didn't get this working. Ok at home but on a corp desktop I think
    I'm out of luck (not keen on breaking standard desktop stuff)

    Just to complete this thread

    - install xp sp3
    - install powershell
    - spend half a day troubleshooting sound drivers (apparently commong thing
    after sp3! oh so that's why I've been avoiding it like plague)
    - in the end uninstall sp3
    - now powershell 2 on "sp2" still with no sound
