  • RE: Different ways to find Powershell Version

    Good question.

    In both versions I've had (2.0,4.0) the returns from (Get-Host).Version, $psversiontable.PSVersion, and $Host.Version have been identical - so perhaps from version 2.0 onwards the powershell version and the ConsoleHost...

    Jeff Moden (3/26/2015)
