| | PowerShell installation problem - Vista - "This machine disabled for file encryption." Vista 32 bit Ultimate RTM in a domain - there is a GPO that disables the Windows Encrypted File System (Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Public Key Policies, Encrypting File System (right click), Properties - no check mark in Allow users to encrypt files using Encrypting File System (EFS)). When I try to install PowerShell (Windows6.0-KB928439-x86.msu), I get this message box: Windows Update Standalone Installer Installer encountered an error: 0x8007177f This machine is disabled for file encryption. 1. Why is "file encryption" required to install PowerShell? 2. Is there a way around this that does not involve enabling the Encrypting File System? -- Bruce Sanderson MVP http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/ It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question. |

| | Re: PowerShell installation problem - Vista - "This machine disabled for file encryption." The Windows PowerShell blog described this issue here: http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/arc...erver-faq.aspx From the post: When I try to install Windows PowerShell I get the following error "Installer encountered an error: 0x8007177f . This machine is disabled for file encryption" Windows PowerShell is being delivered as an update for Windows Vista. Currently this requires that "EFS" be enabled on the system. To enable EFS, press Windows-R and start gpedit.msc. Browse to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Public Key Policies -> Encrypting File System -> (right-click) Properties, and set the EFS state to "Allow". To verify that the above worked, press Windows-R and start rsop.msc. Browse to the same path as above, and verify the setting. If your domain administrator has disabled EFS, then you will not be able to enable it locally. In that case, you will have to depart the domain, complete the install, then rejoin the domain Also, once the installation of PowerShell is complete, you can disable EFS. EFS is not required for the functioning of PowerShell, but only for its installation. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

| | Re: PowerShell installation problem - Vista - "This machine disabled for file encryption." Thanks Sean. I can install all the Vista updates delivered by Windows Update and the occasional update from KB articles - they don't complain about EFS disabled, so what makes the Power Shell installation so different that it "requires EFS"? -- Bruce Sanderson MVP http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/ It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

| | Re: PowerShell installation problem - Vista - "This machine disabl Chris: thanks for the KB article link!
