I see five suggestions, but I'd like to give you more information first. I have Windows XP Home Edition w/SP3. I'm trying to upgrade to Windows Vista Business Edition. When attempting to do this, i get a message that, in essence says that I need to remove
WindowsPowerShell. I believe that I have v1 installed. I can't remove it from Control Panel, its not listed, and yes, I have the updates box checked. There was a posting on another forum that said to try and remove it from PowerShell. I followed those instructions
and this is the result:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0> get-hotfix -id KB926139 Get-HotFix : This command cannot find hot-fix on the machine 'localhost'.
Verify the input and Run your command again.
At line:1 char:11
+ get-hotfix <<<< -id KB926139
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (:) [Get-HotFix], ArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : GetHotFixNoEntriesFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetHotFixCommand
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0>
I understand that WPS may have been installed as part of a Service Pack, and that's why the KB926139 became involved. After going through all of the Programs and Updates in Add/Remove Programs, I did not find either WindowsPowerShell or KB926139. I did go
into the registry, and found it there, and obviously, it must be installed because I used the WPS command line to obtain the information in bold print. Does anyone have suggestions/ideas on how I
can uninstall WindowsPowerShell so that I can upgrade to Vista?
