Is there a way to get this? I downloaded the 4 versions i could find from Microsoft, and they all come up with "not applicable"…by mikefrobbins at 2012-11-02 20:45:40

Install the .NET framework 4.0 first otherwise you’ll receive that error even if it’s the right version.by coderaven at 2012-11-02 20:47:25
What version of Windows? XP, Vista, 7?by mikefrobbins at 2012-11-02 20:49:37
PowerShell 3 is only for WIndows 7/Server 2008 R2; Windows 8 / Server 2012 and up.

PowerShell 3 is for Windows 7 / Server 2008 (non-R2) and higher. Good catch though on asking what OS. I created some screenshots on this very subject earlier today to write a blog about this error because I’ve seen a lot of people running into this due to not having the .NET framework prerequisite.

I wouldn’t have asked on non-Windows 7by figueroa2david at 2012-11-03 21:02:22
Didn’t think about the .net, but i do have .net 4, and I am still getting the error.
I have the aforementioned MSU file… I’m definitely stumped on it so far…

I got it working. I tried the solution from the german translation, but that didn’t work.
It turns out that the client profile of .net 4.0 was not sufficient, I had to install the full version, and then I was able to successfully install PS v3.
Thanks!
