Even more confusing for the peanut gallery.

I assumed Bruce was using PS on XP(based on posting with OE)

Does this mean that PS2.0 was pushed for XP via AU exclusive of Windows Management Framework Core(KB968930) when PS was either
installed/not installed ?

XPSp3 here...not a trace of PS1.0 or 2.0, nor it being offered via AU.

AFAIK, PS has something to do with Office programs. I removed PS and in
Windows Updates & checked not show it again. My MSN was back. I had the
Standalone version of Office Word. I never used it, so I removed it and
downloaded the Word Viewer instead. Checked back at WU and PS is not hidden,
nor offered anymore.

A variety of Office 03/07 here...no Power Shell..
I don't have 2010 installed..might that be the version involved.

For some reason I was under the impression that for Power Shell to function with Office(at least 2007), the Power Tools for Open
XML needed to be installed in addition to Power Shell and the Power Tools required VS2008..

As mentioned previously...confusing..
