First thing!!! READ:> IMPORTANT!! YOU NEED TO UNINSTALL WMF 3.0 CTP1! Or, suffer the consequences.
But, it you’re one of the few experiencing Windows 8 Preview and using Hyper-V 3.0 then you can create another VM for a clean CTP2 installation experience. Or, just use the VM shapshot to to back and forth between version. So, take a pick.
This version comes with some documentation, so make sure to ready it. Also, don’t be afraid to submit bug reports at: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/. (you need to have a Live ID)
For example, I just put in a suggestion to include the ability to “Comment-In” and “Comment-Out” block of code: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/711231/ise-v3-need-to-be-able-to-comment-a-series-of-lines-in-a-block-of-code
*Hint*Hint*:
- When running scripts, I notice there has been changes to how the “Set-ExecutionPolicy” behaves. I’m used to set my execution policy to “RemoteSigned“, but for this version now I had to changed it to “Unrestricted”. (more test to be done)
- Also, don’t forget to execute the “Update-Help” as soon as you open PowerShell. This is working for most part.
There will be more to come soon.
