Is there any chance that this does not work on Windows 8 Pro x64 ? When I run the install I get the "This update is not applicable to your computer" message, but if I try to install Net Framework 4, or 4.5 I get a message that tells me they are already installed.

We use Office 365 and I see some warnings about PowerShell 3 not being compatible with Exchange 2010. We are not using a hybrid install. We also use SharePoint with Office 365. We do not use the other products that are listed as having issues. Will I have problems managing Office 365 with PowerShell 3?

Yeah, you can use Powershell 2.0 to install Powershell 3.0

First you need to use the exe for .NET 4 with switches /q and possibly /norestart

Then call the Windows Stand Alone updater to install the .msu for Powershell 3.0 then exit powershell so it can install.

dotNet4.exe /q /norestart

wusa Powershell3.0.msu /quiet

exit

Hi .. have the framework and Power shell 3 install on my Win 7 x64 machine and there are only 303 cmdlets ... so I did some searching and it appears that most of the additional cmdlets are only available on Server 2012 or Windows 8, is that true?

... are there any modules not tied to Roles and Features on the new Operating Systems that can be installed on Win7?

Thanks

I expect because Vista is out of "mainstream" support: ended 2012-04-10 (see support.microsoft.com/lifecycle) while Server 2008 is still in: ends 2015-01-13 (see support.microsoft.com/lifecycle).

Another user who tried to install and failed because .net framework 4 was not installed. Any chance of getting the Microsoft webpage to add this to the pre-requisites? Currently it just mentions Win7sp1

Also, fwiw, the .net framework 4.5 is available at www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx

@Gandalf50: You might also want to directly install .net 4.5 framework and skip the installation of the older 4.0 version. .net 4.5 is a mainly an updated version of the 4.0 framework. On my system the powershell 3.0 also launches a bit faster with .net 4.5 than with the older version.
