PowerShell v2 CTP2 In A Hurry

For those who are in a hurry and tend not to RTFM, here is a quick summary of what you need to do before running the setup program for PowerShell v2 CTP on your machine. You should completely uninstall PowerShell v1.0 beforehand. Hopefully this will save you some time and unwanted frustration :)

- .NET Framework v2.0 (x86, x64)
- WS-Management v1.1 (x86 and x64 - update needed for the new remoting feature)
- .NET Framework 3.0 (x86 and x64 - needed for PowerShell GUI and Out-GridView cmdlet)
- PowerShell v2 CTP2 (May 2008, x86 and x64)

Make sure that you meet the system requirements for the respective components in order to install and for running certain new features on the corresponding operating system platforms (example: SP1 required on Vista for remoting).

Note that both the .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 can be installed on the same machine.
