| Guest | PowerShell does not install on Vista I've setup a Vista (RTM) X86 box. I finally got around this morning to completing the setup (i.e. downloading, installing and configuring PowerShell). While I can download OK (after being assaulted by Genuwhine Advantage NOT), I can't install the patch. I save the file (Windows60-kb928439-x86.msu) to the desktop, then execute this file. I get the usual UAC 5-second slowdown, click OK, and then get "The Update Does Not Apply To Your System". :-( Thomas -- Thomas Lee doctordns@gmail.com MVP - Admin Frameworks and Security |

Really sure, that it's Vista 32 bit? You can also try to right click on the downloaded file, select properties and click Unblock before installing). This wasn't blocking in my case, but maybe it stops the installation on your system. (At least I have already seen weird issues with executing blocked files.) Best greetings from Germany Olaf |

I retried it here and it failed the same way. I even downloaded the .MSU from another machine. >.NET Frameweork is installed in the needed version? Of course. >Really sure, that it's Vista 32 bit? Definitely. >You can also try to right click on the downloaded file, select >properties and click Unblock before installing). Did that too. It _was_ very annoying to say the least. >This wasn't blocking in my case, but maybe it stops the installation on >your system. (At least I have already seen weird issues with executing >blocked files.) Actually I found out the cause (blush) and life is now good. The reason this fails is that I already had PowerShell loaded! Not sure when I did that - until this morning I can't recall installing it! The installer should have provided a better error message ("hey you id1ot, you already installed this, go away" or something). -- Thomas Lee doctordns@gmail.com MVP - Admin Frameworks and Security |

I would have asked if you installed version formerly on that system (beta or whatever), but it sounded, like the Vista is a fresh installed one, and I know you are not the absolute beginner ... ;-) Agreed, the error message could be more pointed.

I set it up a few weeks ago before my latest EMEA OCS roadshow. I must have installed PowerShell, but can't recall doing it - I certainly did not create the shortcut in the quick launch bar! So when I got home, I wanted to use this box with PowerShell to write an article. I never thought to take a look, till much later, to see if it was actually already installed. >Agreed, the error message could be more pointed. :0) -- Thomas Lee doctordns@gmail.com MVP - Admin Frameworks and Security |
