powershell-core (Install)
6.1.0-rc1
PowerShell Core is the open source multiplatform version of PowerShell
Preview releases are under the package id powershell-preview so that they can be safely installed and maintained side-by-side with the release versions on production systems.
Preview versions do not become the default powershell core edition on a system (unless they are the ONLY edition), if you have a preview version installed, access it via pwsh's '-pre' switch.
This package automatically does verbose MSI logging to %temp%(packagenameandversion).MsiInstall.log
Some helpful install options (any of them can be combined - delimited by space):
* Any MSI Properties the package responds to can be specified in the same way, even if not documented here.

<# .SYNOPSIS Idempotently removes extra PowerShell Core paths from the machine, user and/or process environment scope with no reordering. .DESCRIPTION Defaults to machine scope and leaving the last sorted path alone. Does not touch path if there is nothing to clean. Emits one simple log line about it's actions for each scope. Also accessible in the powershell-core Chocolatey package by using -params '"/CleanUpSystemPath"' .PARAMETER PathScope Set of machine scopes to clean up. Valid options are one or more of: Machine, User, Process. Default: machine .PARAMETER RemoveAllOccurences By default the cleanup leaves the highest sorted PowerShell Core path alone. This switch causes it to be cleaned up as well. Default: false .EXAMPLE .\Reset-PWSHSystemPath.ps1 Removes all PowerShell core paths but the very last one when sorted in ascending order from the Machine level path. Good for running on systems that already has at least one valid PowerShell install. .EXAMPLE .\Reset-PWSHSystemPath.ps1 -RemoveAllOccurences Removes ALL PowerShell core paths from the Machine level path. Good for running right before upgrading PowerShell core. .EXAMPLE .\Reset-PWSHSystemPath.ps1 -PathScope Machine, User, Process Removes all paths but the very last one when sorted in ascending order. Processes all path scopes including current process. .EXAMPLE .\Reset-PWSHSystemPath.ps1 -PathScope Machine, User, Process -RemoveAllOccurencs Removes all paths from all path scopes including current process. #> param ( [ValidateSet("machine","user","process")] [string[]]$PathScope="machine", [switch]$RemoveAllOccurences ) ForEach ($PathScopeItem in $PathScope) { $AssembledNewPath = $NewPath = '' $pathstoremove = @([Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH","$PathScopeItem").split(';') | Where { $_ -ilike "*\Program Files\Powershell\6*"}) If (!$RemoveAllOccurences) { $pathstoremove = @($pathstoremove | sort-object | Select-Object -skiplast 1) } Write-Host "Reset-PWSHSystemPath: Found $($pathstoremove.count) paths to remove from $PathScopeItem path scope: $($Pathstoremove -join ', ' | out-string)" If ($pathstoremove.count -gt 0) { foreach ($path in [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH","$PathScopeItem").split(';')) { If ($Path) { If ($pathstoremove -inotcontains "$Path") { [string[]]$Newpath += "$path" } } } $AssembledNewPath = ($newpath -join(';')).trimend(';') $AssembledNewPath -split ';' [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH",$AssembledNewPath,"$PathScopeItem") } }
