I've switched to powershell ISE on windows (shipped with it) rather than cmd hosted powershell. Does the job!

Is it worth installing .NET 3.5 to run the ISE? I use Powershell but only have .NET 4 which runs it just fine. I'm a little surprised that ISE requires 3.5.

It doesn't make any difference. It required 3.5 as win7 shipped with that framework. You may actually have 3.5 installed already. Check for the following dir: c:\windows\Microsoft.net\framework\v3.5

If it's there you have it already.

Have you tried the ISE on Win8 yet? It gets some nice upgrades around intellisense.

Not yet - will fire up my vm later. Thanks for the tip!
