PowerShell 3.0 for Win 7 now available

If it helps my Net Framework 4 Client Profile is dated 5/16/2011 version 4.0.303 19

You got past me there.

Did you run the script in post #27?

I most certainly did. Sorry I didn't mention it.

Something went wrong on running the script which would have placed
CRITICALandERROREVENTS.TXT on your desktop.

Here is the procedure for running a ps script:
# **********************INSTRUCTIONS**************************
# STEP 1 ** RUN POWERSHELL AS ADMINISTRATOR ******************
# ************************************************************
#
# WIN key | type POWERSHELL | do NOT hit ENTER |
# in the PROGRAMS list, right-click on WINDOWS POWERSHELL |
# choose "Run as administrator" |
# Click on the YES button (if such appears)
#
# WIN key = key with Microsoft log on top
#
# for the guru:
# WIN | type POWERSHELL | CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER key combo | ALT+Y keycombo
# ************************************************************
# STEP 2 ** COPY AND PASTE ***********************************
# ************************************************************
#
# COPY the script using CTRL+C,
# COPY every line of script down thru both EXIT statements
#
# PASTE into Powershell
#----Right-Click at the PowerShell Prompt
#----(Ctrl+V does not work)
#
# Start copying with first script line without a # at start of the line
# Note: Actually, you can paste the entire file if you rather
#-------Lines starting with a # are ignored by PowerShell
# ************************************************************
# STEP 3 ** SCRIPT OUTPUT & SCRIPT PURPOSE *******************
# ************************************************************
# --The script output and purpose is given at the very front of the script

# ***************** NOTE - POWERSHELL VERSION*****************
# if you receive this error msg:
#--The system can not find the path specified
# you may need to update your PowerShell
# you must be using Powershell 2.0 or later.
#
# To determine your Powershell version:
#---Run PowerShell
#---enter $host.version
#---you should see at least:
# Major Minor Build Revision

# 2......0......-1.....-1
#
# If you do not see the above, update your Vista/Win 7.
# ************************************************************
# *************** NOTE - EXECUTION POLICY*********************
# If you haven't set the execution policy, you may need to:
#---Run PowerShell
#---enter SET-EXECUTIONPOLICY -EXECUTIONPOLICY REMOTESIGNED

I like your odds better than mine.

Now how about attaching the file as an upload. Makes reading, studying much easier.

CRITICALandERROREVENTS.TXT

Hope this works.

Exellent.

Is "Jack" an administrator?

Be sure to install using an administrator account and then as a further safety measure.
Right-click on the downloaded MSU file and choose "Run as administrator"

Another avenue, if that doesn't solve the problem is to google the message:
Windows update could not be installed because of error 2149842967

Yes Jack is admin and I'm Jack. I have been Googling but not doing anything with out instruction except I did run sfc /scannow and it's states no problem.

Have you had a chance to run the MSU by right-clicking and choosing Run as administrator?

I hope your search on that error msg is fruitful because I don't have any other explanation.
