I am trying to upgrade my HP pavillion a1640n from xp home media edition with
sp2 (installed and updated by best buy) to vista home premium using the HP upgrade dvds. The vista upgrade advisor said to remove windows powershell 1.0 before proceeding. When trying to remove per the directions from http://support.microsoft.com/kb926139/ the add remove programs window reports that windows powershell can't be removed. Have searched the support articles and a view websearchs with no answer. Looking here for my next step. -- John Garrett Technology Teacher Surprise Lake Middle School Fife School District |

Hi John,
Try changing the indicated registry value to 0 so that it does not think that it is already installed, then reinstall PowerShell. Reboot, then retry uninstalling it. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "John" wrote in message ...

I changed value to 0 and tried to install again. However I need the x32
version, because it keeps giving me the error that none of the downs are a win32 version program. -- John Garrett Technology Teacher Surprise Lake Middle School Fife School District "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi John, Try changing the indicated registry value to 0 so that it does not think that it is already installed, then reinstall PowerShell.

I tried to install powershell and it wouldn't let me reinstall because it
says there is a previous version. Any other suggestions? -- John Garrett Technology Teacher Surprise Lake Middle School Fife School District "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, Should be this one he http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75788&clcid=0x09 If you have an active AV program, it may be blocking it. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "John" wrote in message ...

Hi John,
Can you find an install.log for it in the %windir%? If so, check to see if it lists where the uninstall file was placed and try running it manually. Or, you could (lengthy) manually remove the files and registry changes it created. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "John" wrote in message ...

You r correct Conradina ... I just renamed the Windows Powershell 1.0 folder in my Program Files ... deleted as much registry keys on .../Software/Microsoft/Powershell (some did not delete) ... but I changed the "Install" value to 0 .... and the upgrade I wanted to do did not complain anymore of Windows Powershell -- Kwex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kwex's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/kwex.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-set...all/708127.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
