Where can I find the powershell 2.0 SDK??

Hi,

I can find plenty of links via Google that claim to point to a download site for the SDK but the actual pages are either talking about the SDK or the link was totally bogus. This also includes a Microsoft site where you can download samples but none of the reference assemblies. What I need is the System.Management.Automation.dll that includes the InitialSessionState class and that, as far as I understand, requires the PowerShell 2.0 SDK.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Actually, when you run the setup wizard, the only thing it knows how to do is remove and not setup the SDK.

That's usually a good indication that it's already installed. Check in Control Panel to see if it is already there.

You could just let it remove the existing installation and then do a fresh install of it.

You're right but none of the PowerShell 2.0 classes were accessible to me in Visual Studio 2008. It turns out the server pack 1 for 2008 hadn't been installed. So, I installed it. Problem solved.
