    Can't uninstall Windows Powershell 1.0

    I have a HP pavilion laptop which came preinstalled with Windows Xp and am trying to upgrade it with Windows Vista by using the HP upgrade dvds. When I was using the Vista upgrade advisor, then it told me to remove the Windows Powershell 1.0 before going ahead. So, when I was trying to remove it from the Add and Remove programs then window reports that windows powershell cannot be removed. I have tried to search for some solutions for this problem but I cant find anywhere. Any solutions?

    Can you try to change the indicated registry value to 0 so that it will not think that it is already installed and then reinstall the Windows PowerShell. After that restart the computer and then retry to uninstall the Powershell.

    Even I have fixed this issue bu just renaming the Windows Powershell 1.0 folder in my Programs files and then delete the registry keys that was associated with it, which was something /Software/Microsoft/Powershell, although some did not get delete and then I changed the Install value to 0 and after that when I tried to do the upgrade then there was no issuse anymore of Windows Powershell.
