PowerShell Community Extensions (PSCX) 2.0 Released – New Cmdlets, PowerShell 2 and XCopy, oh my

PowerShell Community Extensions - 2.0 Production

“Released: May 10 2010

…

The primary purpose of the Pscx 2.0 release is to convert from the previous approach of using a PSSnapin and scripts over to a completely module-based approach. As a consequence, Pscx 2.0 only works with Windows PowerShell 2.0. If you need support for Windows PowerShell 1.0, you can still download the Pscx 1.2 release. The other major change is that Pscx no longer uses an MSI installer. In fact, the "install" is merely an xcopy deployment of the Pscx module into your modules folder (~\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules).
