Re: [vagrant-up] I'm new to Vagrant and I can't get past "Vagrant Up"

So a couple things:

1.  Hyper-V cannot be run on Windows 7.  Simple as that.  You must have Windows 8 or a Server 2008+

2.  Your passive aggressive tone is uncalled for.

3.  If you actually read the documentation about the Hyper-V provider located at (https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/hyperv/index.html) you would see that your "problem" is clearly addressed.

4.  Vagrant is open source.  If you don't like the documentation or consider it "light and vapid", feel free to submit a pull request with updates.

I'm trying to go through the Getting Started documentation at https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/index.html and I'm getting the following error message:

C:\Users\gm>vagrant up

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'hyperv' provider...

==> default: Verifying Hyper-V is enabled...

The Hyper-V cmdlets for PowerShell are not available! Vagrant

requires these to control Hyper-V. Please enable them in the

"Windows Features" control panel and try again.

I'm someone who tries very hard to solve problems before asking for help. I've spent hours on this error trying to understand it or at least get past it, and now I've simply had it with Vagrant. I'm running the 3.0 version of PowerShell as recommended on a Windows 7 Professional machine. I've searched google up and down, installed and uninstalled different versions of the Windows Management Framework, and tried a bunch of powershell commands but I'm no closer to understanding what the problem is. Some of the information I've come across is implying that Hyper-V is only available in the "Windows Features" control panel on a Windows 8 machine (then why does Vagrant give those instructions when it can very easily tell what version of Windows I'm running).

Does anyone have any experience with handling this error? My impression is that the documentation at http://docs.vagrantup.com/ is somewhat light and vapid, the kind of documentation that is only useful if everything works perfectly.

Thanks,

GM
