PowerShell v3 installing error

Question

I would like to update my PowerShell from v2 to v3 but when installing, I get a message "Update not applicable to your computer". I tried to install the Windows6.1-KB2506143-x64 Windows Management Framework 3.0 - RC because I am practicing scripting but I can not use the scripts that I am learning in v2.

I do not have a virtual machine.

What is the problem?

Windows6.1-KB2506143-x64 is applicable to computers running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 — ravikanth

Make sure you meet the system requirement of .net 4.0

Windows Management Framework 3.0 requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0"

It has to be the full install, the client profile isn't enough.

The full release of PowerShell and the Windows Management Framework 3.0 has been released, I would suggest using it instead of the release candidate version you mentioned. You can find download links here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=251995

The supported systems matrix is tighter than previous releases - you have to be running one of the following operating systems with the correct service pack level as well:

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (32-bit & 64-bit)
Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (64-bit only, includes Server Core)
Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (32-bit & 64-bit)

Also note, if you have any of the pre-release builds of v3 installed, you will have to remove them before installing the officially released version.
