Installing Powershell v2

S

sluice

I want to install Powershell v2 on an XP SP3 machine. It has previously had
v1 installed, which was never properly uninstalled. I have tried all the
solutions I can find to remove the old version. All the PS files and folders
have been deleted. Any reference to Powershell in the registry has been
deleted, but on trying to install v2 I stll get the message to remove
previous versions first. I guess it's looking for a registry key or keys
which tells it that PS is installed, finds it/them and stops the install.
I've tried looking at a registry trace with RegMon filtered to misiexec, but
there are still hundreds of successful reads & queries. I have saved the
RegMon trace.
I am not able to revert to Windows XP SP2.
Can anyone help, please?

Re-install v1 , uninstall v1 ( properly ) , install v2 .

Jim,
Thanks for that, but I have already tried to install v1. It says there is a
previous version already installed. I should have included that effort in my
post.

Thank you Jim, that cracked it. You may take a gold star! I don't know how I
missed that, but I did.
