This issue may occur if you try to install Windows PowerShell 1.0 in response to the installation instructions that are included with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. The Exchange 2007 installation instructions direct you to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article to obtain Windows PowerShell:
