This part is unclear to me: "2.2.4. Install PowerShell If you are running Windows Vista you may need to install Windows Powershell 2.0. Later versions should also be supported. You can download it from https://www.microsoft.com/powershell" Does that mean I need to install Powershell only if I'm running Vista? But not other versions of Windows? What does Powershell do for us now?
We have PowerShell scripts that prep text files and assist with NSIS packaging, both of which are specific to Windows. You must also have PowerShell 2.0 or later installed if you want to install Chocolatey packages. If you're running Vista *and* you have managed to make it this far without installing PS 2.0 (lots of things seem to require it) then you must now do so. If you're running Windows 7 or later you shouldn't have to do anything. Windows 7 includes PS 2.0, Windows 8 includes PS 3.0, and 8.1 includes PS 4.0. I've uploaded a change which hopefully clarifies this. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
