How to Get Windows PowerShell 1.0

Downloading and Installing Windows PowerShell Version 1.0

Can’t wait to try out Windows PowerShell? If that’s the case, first make sure that you download and install the RTM (release-to-manufacturing) version of .NET Framework 2.0. Note that, in some cases, .NET Framework 2.0 can conflict with applications that require .NET Framework 1.1; because of that, you might consider installing Windows PowerShell on a test computer. After.NET Framework 2.0 has been installed select the appropriate link from the list below. If you are looking for the Windows PowerShell Documentation Pack these documents are now included with the product installation, it is no longer a separate download.

For more information on what you can actually do with Windows PowerShell see the Scripting for Windows PowerShell home page.
