Hello. Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.
I installed a Windows Update which supposedly includes Windows PowerShell V 2. But my shortcut still points to version 1.0 and the PowerShell folder within 'C:\Windows\System 32' still is for version 1.0.
Any idea where version 2 has gone please? Andy.
Where is PowerShell 2?

Re: Where is PowerShell 2?
PowerShell 2.0 was included with Vista SP1. Since you have SP2 I'd expect you to have PowerShell 2.0, even if the folder says v1.0. On my Windows 7 PC, the folder name is also v1.0 although Windows 7 comes with PowerShell 2.0.
Best wishes,
Hans

Re: Where is PowerShell 2?
It is impossible for Poweshell 2.0 to be in Vista Sp-1. Vista SP-1 was released Feb., 2008. PowerShell 2.0 was released August 2009. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 had PowerShell 2.0 integrated into them and were the first OSes to have PowerShell integrated. PowerShell 2.0 is available for XP & Vista via Windows Management Framework (Windows PowerShell 2.0, WinRM 2.0, and BITS 4.0). PowerShell 2.0 can be installed on a machine with Vista SP-1 or Vista SP-2. PowerShell 1.0 & 2.0 can exist side-by-side. So, the PS 1.0 icons will not be replaced.
IIRC, you can go to Start | All Programs | Accessories. I can't remember whether PS 2.0 is either a separate entry or under Windows PowerShell.
