POWERSHELLVERSION Property in WixPSExtension Doesn't support PS3 or higher #4071

Open wixbot opened 11 years ago

wixbot commented 11 years ago

The current release of the WixPSExtension that ships with the latest Wix 3.7 doesn't support anything higher than PS 2.0. It appears to not be checking the registry hive used by PS3.0 when looking at the extension's wixLibrary element.

I hope this will be fixed as using a Wix Extension is nicer than creating your custom actions to do the same work.

Here's the text from my April 22nd letter:

I’ve got a product that now has a dependency on PowerShell version 3.0. The POWERSHELLVERSION property in the PS extension only probes the v1/v2 location. Are there plans to either add a POWERSHELLVERSION3 property or otherwise extend detection of installed PowerShell to include PowerShell v3?

The code would look something like this:

I've already filed a bug and posted a patch.

I couldn't find the bug in the search nothing comes up for the property id. Has the patch been accepted?

wixbot commented 11 years ago

This is straight forward. Seems like something we could take if someone wanted to send along the pull request.
