I think I visit this guy's page at least once a week to copy-and-paste a little PowerShell snippet that generates a GUID.

Write-Host ([System.Guid]::NewGuid())

You'd think that after the first ten times, I would start to memorize it. I guess when I need a GUID, I'm very far away (mentally) from thinking about the PowerShell syntax.

Harumph.

I just got a new Dell Latitude D830 laptop running Vista Ultimate and I'm going about the lengthy process of installing all my software. When I got to PowerShell, I grabbed a copy of the installation file from my 250GB external drive that I had previously downloaded for my previous laptop, a Dell Latitude D610, running Windows XP SP2.

When I ran the install program, I was repeated met with the following error message:

Not enough storage is available to process this command.

A lot of other people had the same problem, but no one had posted a solution. Then, I suspect I figured out the answer the same way others had. I was executing WindowsXP-KB926139-x86-ENU.exe instead of Windows6.0-KB928439-x86.msu, I had overlooked the fact that Windows XP and Vista had different installation programs for PowerShell.

Drat.
