Help! Attempting to install PowerShell 2 from Windows Management Framework, getting “The update does not apply to your system”

Question

I'm running Vista x64 Home Premium as admin (SP1 not installed)

Steps I've taken:

• Googled the problem.

• Uninstalled PowerShell 1

• Cleaned the local registry via regedit, removed entries containing "PowerShell"

• Rebooted.

I still get the problem. Windows Update Standalone Installer crunches for 30 seconds and then posts the "The update does not apply to your system."

Any additional ideas/suggestions for working around this problem?

Thanks
