I love PowerShell. Every so often - tongue-in-cheek - Microsoft produces one very funky piece of technology. PowerShell is one such bit of goodness.

Well, now that I've installed 64-bit Vista on my Dell XPS I've noticed little things here and there that don't work like I expect. Most cases there's a good security reason. But sometimes it just that programs don't install properly.

PowerShell Community Extensions (PSCX) is one such beasty. There's a problem with the installer not configuring all the 64-bit stuff.

Luckily there's a quick solution.

Run this command:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerShell Community Extensions\pscx.dll"

For more info see: http://www.codeplex.com/PowerShellCX/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=6949

Also, don't forget to set Remote Signing in both the 32- and 64-bit PowerShell interfaces.

I've been hearing a lot of good comments about Windows Live Writer lately. So far so good. It's figured out that I'm using dasBlog and I've had no errors. I've had trouble in the past with similar blogging apps. Will it publish?
