Summary

Real version is 7.1.0-preview.2 PowerShell 7 is the open source multiplatform version of PowerShell

Description

PowerShell Core is the open source multiplatform version of PowerShell

ATTENTION: This is a preview release, use the release version package if you want a stable, supported version.

Preview releases are under a seperate package id so that they can be safely installed and maintained side-by-side with the release versions on production systems.
Preview versions never become the default powershell core edition on a system (unless they are the ONLY edition), if you have a preview version installed, access it via pwsh's '-pre' switch.

This package automatically does verbose MSI logging to %temp%\(packagenameandversion).MsiInstall.log

Some helpful install options (any of them can be combined - delimited by space):

* Any MSI Properties the package responds to can be specified in the same way, even if not documented here.
