[wix-users] Wrong Powershell version

[jovan27 at gmx.de]

Shouldn’t the `POWERSHELLVERSION ` be pointing to the latest version then?

Otherwise it shows an old version of PS.



Btw. When I answer a reply in the `wix-users` mailing list, should I use Reply All or just Reply?

Means should I additionally add the user who replied?

The WixPSExtension looks at the PowerShellVersion value in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellEngine key to populate the POWERSHELLVERSION property.

 

On my system  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\3\PowerShellEngine shows the correct expected version.

 

C:\> $PSVersionTable

Name                           Value
----                           -----

Hi,

I have the following in my product.wxs to check the installed PSVERSION on my machine

// WixPSExtension
<PropertyRef Id="POWERSHELLVERSION" />
    <Condition Message="[POWERSHELLVERSION]">
      <![CDATA[Installed OR POWERSHELLVERSION <= "1.0"]]>
    </Condition>

During install it shows:  2.0

Get-Host | Select-Object Version gives me:

Version      
-------      
5.1.18362.752

What is wrong with my XML?

Also I don't understand the condition from above: 

1. Installed - For me it sounds like, if is installed (but in reality it executes only if "not installed")
2. why `or` ?
