PowerShell 3.0 for Win 7 now available

[karlsnooks]

another quick question, did you ever click on that "genuine"/"activation" area of:
WIN +PAUSE keyombo | lower right ?

Sometimes we forget to do such when we roll our own and Win 7 thinks that it's not genuine.

As far as I know. I check for updates several times a day and install them except for a nvidia driver I don't want. I did notice that the only have one Network Framwork.
Net Framework 4 Client Profile. Could that be a problem?

 

[Layback Bear]

Have a look at the lower right. It wasn't in the last picture.

 

[karlsnooks]

The only thing unusual is that you haven't run the Experience Index yet, although I wouldn't expect that to make a difference.

 

[Layback Bear]

You ask you will receive.

 

[karlsnooks]

If you have PS 2.0 installed, then leave installed.

run following.

# ************************************************************
# Clear the EVENT LOGS
# ************************************************************
Get-WinEvent -ListLog * -Force | % { $_.logname;Wevtutil.exe cl $_.logname };Wevtutil.exe cl system

EXIT
EXIT

# ************************************************************

 

[karlsnooks]

that was some housekeeping only but will simplify further looks at the event logs.

Reboot.

Try to install 3.0 again.

If install of 3.0 fais, then attach results of this script:

# ************************************************************
# Places CRITICALandERROREVENTS.TXT on your DESKTOP
#
# Displays 100 most recent critical and error events in a Grid View
# Writes 100 most recent critical and error events to CriticalAndErrorEvents.txt

# Change the $MAX value for more or fewer events
# Change the $Lwidth value to 254 for example for longer lines
# **********************************************************

$MAX = 100
$LWidth = 132
$a = Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{logname='*';  level=1,2} `

I hope that's what you wanted. It won't let me open and install it.
I tried it with your posted site using FireFox and I also tried it with Microsoft's site using I.E.9

You think this is hard to figure out. NA I trying to teach my cat how to make coffee. It's not going well.

I like your odds better than mine.

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

 

[Layback Bear]

View attachment CRITICALandERROREVENTS.TXT

Hope this works.

 

[karlsnooks]

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

karl

 

[Layback Bear]

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.

 

[karlsnooks]

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.
