Uninstall Windows PowerShell RC 2

My mission is to install Windows PowerShell v.1. However I first need to
uninstall RC2.

I have looked in Add Remove Programs, also Windows Components and I cannot
find reference to Windows PowerShell anywhere. A quick check of the registry
shows the PowerShell software key is present. Moreover, I can actually run
PowerShell commands.

The machine is Windows Server 2003 with SP2.
I have ticked the 'Show Updates' button
I have check the Software Updates in Add / Remove prog - no luck.

What am I missing?

Re: Uninstall Windows PowerShell RC 2

Dear Marco

Thank you for your rapid reply.
I have checked the blog

However Windows Server 2003 does not have a 'Display Updates' checkbox -
that I can see. As I mentioned originally, I have ticked the 'Show Updates'
and Windows PowerShell does not appear - that I can see!

Supplimentary question: Does applyint W2K3 SP2 have any effect on
PowerShell?

Solution a:
I wonder if anyone else (Reading this) has Windows Server 2003 SP2 and
PowerShell RC2? If so they could confirm / deny that Guy is having a senior
moment.

Solution b:
I could try a manual removal of anything to do with PowerShell RC2.

Sorry... Read too fast...

You installed SP2 after PowerShell perhaps?

Try this one:

Re: Uninstall Windows PowerShell RC 2

Dear Marco

At least I am not going mad!

I would like separate a big - 'Thank you Marco'
from a big - 'Yarbooo sucks' to Microsoft.

-----------------------
Going back to Windows 2!! You could frequently recover from UAE
(Unrecoverable Application Errors). In the case of Uninstalling PowerShell
RC 2 on Windows Server 2003, what is the situation with the work-arounds?

a) Nobody knows - nothing bad has ever happened yet, but Microsoft want to
cover themselves, with a disclaimer
b) It really does cripple the Server.
