I am attempting to create a solution to launch remote processes in an environment which is very stable, and I know the user base will have Windows 7 - most will have no updates to it though.
Remote SSIS Package Execution with PowerShell 2.0 says that Windows 7 comes with PowerShell 2.0 and would therefore be capable of the remote execution, but I seem to remember having to upgrade my machine to PowerShell 2. I am currently on v3 of PowerShell and don't have access to the machines on which the script would need to run.
What version of PowerShell comes with Windows 7 out of the box?

I recently installed Windows 7 on a fresh system, and running get-host in PowerShell tells me I'm running version 2.0, even though it's installed in the v1.0 folder.
