Hi All,
I had powershell 2.0 installed by default on my laptop and i tried to upgrade to 5.0(reason - i wanted to install vagrant and some Linux some boxes for learning purpose)
now as i open my powershell console it just disappears immediately without any error
I tried to repair .Net Framework, that didn't help either
My laptop configurations are as below
Windows 7 Home Basic
Service Pack 1
Windows Management Framework 5.1 (KB3191566)
Microsoft .Net Framework 4 Extended 4.0.30319
Microsoft .Net Framework 4 Client Profile 4.0.30319
When i run the below command in cmd prompt i get
C:\>wmic /namespace:\\root\cimv2 path win32_product where "name like '%%.NET%%'"
get version
Version
4.0.30319
4.0.30319
if any of you have faced similar issues and resolved.. please helpThanks in advance
