I am trying to install Powershell 3.0
on my Windows 7 x64 SP1
. Update starts, but then it says
Some updates were not installed. The following updates were not
installed: Update for Windows KB2506143.
…and an option to Close
. Tried rebooting to make sure there are not any locked files etc. – same problem persists. Framework 4.5 is installed with VS 2012.
I used this page to download:
Download Center – Windows Management Framework 3.0
And this file to install:
Windows6.1-KB2506143-x64.msu
Here is how it looks:
Troubleshooting: I tried installing on another machine, which is also Windows 7 x64 and it worked without a problem, smooth as butter. I'll try on more machines and keep this question updated.

I just had the exact same problem.
To find out more about what went wrong, I opened Event Viewer and under 'Windows Logs' opened the 'Setup' log. The most recent error is:
In my case this error occurs because both 'Program Files' and 'ProgramData' are on my E: drive, not C:
Even though I change all possible pointers to C:\Program*, the update seems to insist on C:\ProgramData, after moving ProgramData back to C: the update succeeded.
Even if that's not your problem, there should be an error in the event log that may help.
