PR Summary

We've gotten a couple folks struggle to discover that we no longer support v3 and v4 in the PowerShell extension.

Half of the time, they are unable to update to 5.1 or 7... so I've also given them a workaround to use the last version that does support those older versions of PowerShell.

You say is supports v3 and v4. What about v5.0? That is still out there.

Also, you need to rename the PNG file. It should be all lowercase.

What about v5.0? That is still out there.

I didn't think it was; I thought it was a mandatory upgrade to 5.1?

Certainly it's not tested with 5.0 and we haven't seen anyone use it.

OK, I think it is still supported under the Windows Support Lifecycle. But we may have a case for requiring 5.1.

We can add stuff about 5.0 if someone asks - telemetry has shown no usage on 5.0 so we can defer.
