Vista SP1 x64 Exchange 2007 EMC Install Error: "Exchange Server setup encountered an error"
Posted on 2008-10-21
I have tried for months to get the Exchange 2007 SP1 x64 Exchange Management Console to install to my Vista SP1 x64 computer but without success. I am receiving an error seconds after seeing the "Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Setup Initializing..." screen stating: "Exchange Server setup encountered an error". C:\ExchangeSetupLogs\Excha

It doesn't even get that far. This error occurs during the setup initialization part. It doesn't even get to the part where it allows you to select the roles.
If I try to install the tools only via the command line it does not work either :(

Well I just figured it out. Exchange setup showed that I had Windows PowerShell installed (and I did). However, it just occurred to me that I may have a beta or RC version of it installed, as I recall downloading and installing one well over a year ago, but I couldn't remember installing a final version of it. So I downloaded the latest version of PowerShell just now and installed it and that seems to have resolved the issue!
