Supported operating systems: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Vista Service Pack 2
Additional Requirements:

• Windows PowerShell 2.0/3.0 ISE (Client computer that is to run Script Explorer as an add-on)
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer) OR Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer)

Instructions

The installer works on both x86 and x64 platforms. It tries to update the All Users Windows PowerShell ISE profile file located at %windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 OR %windir%\SYSWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 depending upon your architecture. Refer to the troubleshooting section in User Guide for information on how to update the profile file manually in case the installer fails to do so because of insufficient permissions.

Known Limitations :

1. During installation, Script Explorer updates the ISE profile file Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 (All Users profile) located in %windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ by adding the following entry ."C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Script Explorer for Windows PowerShell\Microsoft.ScriptExplorer.ps1". If the All Users profile file is already signed, this change invalidates the file signature and the user must resign the profile file.
