Deployment Scanner missing Powershell

I think the issue is that Windows 2008 comes with PS 2.0 and EV8 looks for Version 1.0

Have you tried installing version 1.0 or what happens if you ignore the warning about PS will it let you install and still run EV

We're using version 1 of Powershell....

This is Server 2003 64 bit.

If it's there then you can safely ignore the warning as everything will continue to work just fine. My guess would be that there is a missing environment variable or reg key that we use to check for the existence or version of Powershell

Is it possible that 64-bit PowerShell is installed, but EV expects 32-bit, or vice-versa?

That's entirely possible. Our Powershell scripts are designed for 32-bit if I recall correctly

Thanks!!

So going back a little bit...  Windows 2003 R2 x64 SP 2.  What version of powershell did you install?  What bit-ness (32 or 64) did you install?

After a clean install of Windows 2003 x64 R2 SP 2 Enterprise, the deployment scanner said "no powershell".

I installed .Net Framework 2.0, and then Powershell 1.0, and now I see :

Note: I've not RUN powershell yet

but there is a powershell.exe.exe in the windows\SysWOW64\windowspowershell\v1.0 folder.

hmm then it's odd - I mean, I used those simple steps that I mentioned above, and I have no problem in deployment scanner.

I think you'd need to find out how it was built to get powershell on there, and we can then see what differences there are.

What about this:

Just uninstall all PowerShells, and then install the 32-bit PowerShell from scratch...

Cheers
