I have a few Server 2008 R2s and I'd like to get Powershell 5.0. From what I've seen, it requires to upgrade to WMF 4.0 prior to going to WMF 5.0. However, I can't seem to find a download link for WMF 4.0.
MS seems to have pulled it. Is it just not possible on 2008 R2s to go to WMF 5.0?

Looks to have been a problem for some time.

Hi,
The actual link is not found anymore. I was able to get the Alternate but it seems to not be legitimate when I tried yesterday. I also saw the post you mentioned regarding not being able to find any links for WMF 4. At this point, is it safe to say that I cannot get my 2008 R2s to use PoweShell v5?
it seems to not be legitimate
What does this mean?
That was my mistake. I tried installing this with my current WMF version 2.0. When I did, it threw off a "malicious" content error. However, I upgraded from 2.0 to 3.0 then to 4.0 using the link you provided. This works.
Ok, good news, you're welcome.
