Cannot uninstall Powershell V2 CTP

Asked By DC

Hello,

Why cant I uninstall Powershell V2 (CTP)? No matter what I try i cannot
uninstall this powershell version. I am trying to uninstall and its weird the
message below thinks I am installing.

Here is the error:

Cannot install Windows PowerShell(TM) V2 (CTP)because the OS installed
on this computer does not support Windows PowerShell. Refer to Windows
Powershell V2 (CTP) documentation for supported versions of the operating
system.



I am using Vista Sp2. I read somewhere it does not support Vista SP2 but
when I installed the Powershell app I was on SP1 at the time.


Thanks!

You may need to remove SP2 and revert to SP1 to perform the uninstall.

PowerShell is treated as a hotfix type install and is "locked" and
unisnstallable if a SP is applied over the top
