ALERT : A new Pre-requisite has been introduced in 2022 R4

One of the New Features introduced in 2022 R4 is its support for Azure Elastic Pool Database. This has necessitated the installation and configuring of Powershell v7.2 during the Console configuration process for the Runtime component.

This change means that all X3 Runtime servers will need Powershell 7.2 installed before upgrading to, or installation of 2022 R4 version and above.

Do not use powershell.exe, which is the executable name of the legacy Windows PowerShell edition (v5.1-), built on the Windows-only .NET Framework (v4.8-)    

You should download the 64-bit version msi for Powershell 7.2 from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.2   

This applies to both Windows and Linux Runtime servers.

To install MS PowerShell Version 7, please go to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell?view=powershell-7.2

If your database is MS SQLServer, run a DOS cmd shell with “Run as Administrator” and then set up the PowerShell for SQL:

 pwsh -Command "Install-Module -Name SqlServer -Scope AllUsers -force"
