How can I uninstall WMF (including PowerShell 2.0) ?
sono
Please inform me the procedures how to replace
the English version of Windows Management Framework Core ("WMF")
by
the Japanese version of WMF.
*** PURPOSE ***
My purpose is to newly get PowerShell 2.0 supporting Japanese into a
32-bit computer ThinkPad with Windows XP Professional SP3 Japanese
version.
I know it is necessary to install WMF (including Windows PowerShell
2.0, WinRM 2.0, and BITS 4.0) published on:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929/en-us
(In addition, I had succeeded the installation on ANOTHER computer
of
the same configuration, and since then, able to use PowerShell
2.0
in Japanese with no problem.)
*** PROBLEM ***
However, I made a mistake of the installation as to this PC.
The mistake was that I chose English version of "Windows Management
Framework(WMF)" instead of Japanese version.
Concretely, I clicked a link in the above page named:
* Download the Windows Management Framework Core for Windows XP
and Windows Embedded package now.
and then the following page was displayed:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=60cb5b6c-6532-45e0-ab0f-a94ae9ababf5&displaylang=en
Download details: Update for Windows XP (KB968930)
It was OK, but I have forgotten to change the support language
"English" to "Japanese" by the [Change Language] list box and the
[Change] button.
Consequently, I got the English version WMF and installed it to the PC
"successfully".
I was surprized and noticed my mistake when the PowerShell 2.0
displayed messages in "English" .
So, I went back to the page and downloaded the Japanese version WMF by
choosing "Japanese" by the list box.
After the download of the Japanese version WMF, I tried to install it
by double clicking the file name, but the program soon stopped the
installation process with an error message, meaning that the former
version of the same program should be uninstalled!
I am sure the message was the following one (actually translated to
Japanese):
"Setup cannot continue because your system contains Windows Management
Framework Core".
The message was clear, so I started to find how to uninstall WMF, but
in vain.
Following the "Removal information" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929/en-us,
at the "Add or Remove Programs" of "Control Panel",
displaying details by "Show updates",
I CANNOT FIND item of "Windows Management Framework [Core]" or the KB
number "KB968930".
*** QUESTION ***
How I can uninstall the English version WMF or overwrite it by the
Japanese version WMF? (Any registry modification might be executable.)
The registry clearance method written by Mr. thomas lee in the
following article is the only valid way to uninstall PowerShell 2.0 ??

saying, "The simplest way is to rip it out from the Registry. Look in
HKLM (=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) for PowerShell, then just remove all the
keys and values from there on down out".
Thank you in advance.

The problem has just solved.

But, I COULD find the WMF entry in the "Add or Remove Programs" of
"Control Panel" when I asked my client to read the sceen agein today.
The other day I missed the entry by panic, I guess ;-) Sorry.
Additionally, I found that the next suggested method CANNOT solve the
WMF already-installed error by my actual operation on another
computer:

I think, it is because the checked software is not PowerShell but WMF
in this PowerShell 2.0 replacing case.
