Home: Visual Studio 2017 Package Manager Console Requires PowerShell 2.0

[jkrobertson88]

PowerShell 2.0 has gotten the ban hammer at work due to security issues, since then the Visual Studio package manager console won't work.

I keep getting the error
Error: The Package Manager Console requires PowerShell 2.0 runtime, which is not detected on this machine. Please install the PowerShell 2.0 from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929 and restart Visual Studio.

I am running a windows 10 machine that was upgraded from windows 7. I tried looking through previous tickets that had similar issues and seemed to have been resolved. I tried some of the suggested solutions to the problem to no avail. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Looks as though there's a fix here but it's waiting to get pushed into the live stream?

@OraDotNetDev is right. the fix will be available in Visual Studio 2017 Update 3 soon.

VS 2017 version 15.3 shipped on 8/14/2017 with the fix for bug #5294 . So this should be fixed, as well, since this is a duplicate.
