Windows – download Powershell 2.0 for Windows 7

powershellpowershell-2.0upgradewindows 7

I have spent the better part of a day hunting the Internet looking forr a way to download Powershell 2.0 to my already Win7 environment. Windows 7 is supposed to come with PS 2.0 however – I have 1.0.

How do you upgrade Powershell when there is no download made specifically for Windows 7?

Best Answer

I suspect that you really have 2.0. The 2.0 version installs in a directory named 1.0 which often causes this confusion. In a PS session type:

$host.version

And I suspect that you will see:
