Default Can't uninstall Windows Powershell 1.0

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.

Default Can't uninstall Windows Powershell 1.0

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.

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.

I tried to install powershell and it wouldn't let me reinstall because it
says there is a previous version. Any other suggestions?

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.

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
