SharePoint 2010 Install & Powershell Issue on Windows Server 2008
November 17, 2009 4 Comments
PowerShell is an optional component available with the Windows Server 2008 default install. If you enable this feature in Server Manager you will run into an issue when installing the pre-release version of SharePoint 2010. 2010 depends on the PowerShell CTP3 which cannot be installed without uninstalling the inbuilt PowerShell feature.
To Uninstall PowerShell. goto Server Manager and uncheck the PowerShell feature.
Now your 2010 install should proceed without any issues
