super late and you may have solved it already, but i just had to say something; you entered it twice — you entered:

iex “& { $(irm https://aka.ms/install-powershell.ps1) } -UseMSI”iex “& { $(irm https://aka.ms/install-powershell.ps1) } -UseMSI”

you need to enter:

iex “& { $(irm https://aka.ms/install-powershell.ps1) } -UseMSI”

“winget install Microsoft.Powershell”
This will install from the current winget source if the above winget command fails.

Cheers!

Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7 run site by site. Windows PowerShell runs as powershell.exe and if you want to run PowerShell 7 there is pwsh.exe to run.

iex “& { $(irm https://aka.ms/install-powershell.ps1) } -UseMSI
>>>> “VERBOSE: About to download package from’https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.2.0/PowerShell-7
.2.0-win-x64.msi’

But I don’t see powershell 7, just 5.1:

PS C:\Windows\system32> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Major Minor Build Revision
—– —– —– ——–
5 1 20348 320

I tried running pwsh but that’s not recognized.

I have the latest preview of windows 10 and when try to update to latest PowerShell preview I get this error:

iex “& { $(irm https://aka.ms/install-powershell.ps1) } -UseMSI -Preview”

Invoke-RestMethod:
Line |
346 | … $metadata = Invoke-RestMethod https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Power …
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Exception of type ‘System.Net.InternalException’ was thrown. -2146892963

Any idea? Best Regards

Nice guide you have made here. I just love using PowerShell and figure out new way to do things making small scripts.
