Installation Note 50123: During installation of SAS® 9.4, the SAS® Deployment Wizard displays a path to Windows PowerShell 1.0 even though the actual version is 2.0 or later
Some SAS 9.4 installations require Microsoft Windows PowerShell. The PowerShell version that is required is 2.0 or later. During the SAS installation, however, the SAS Deployment Wizard dialog box might display the path to Windows PowerShell 1.0. This is actually not a problem. By design, Microsoft installs PowerShell 2.0 and PowerShell 3.0 to the PowerShell 1.0 path.
You can most likely ignore this discrepancy and continue with the installation without issue. If, however, you prefer to verify that you are running PowerShell version 2.0 or later, simply open PowerShell and issue a get-host command. If you meet the minimum requirement of Windows PowerShell 2.0, you may proceed.
Below is a SAS Deployment Wizard dialog box showing the discrepancy. The box indicates the requirement of PowerShell 2.0 but shows the default path to C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0.
