PSVersion is not recognized

Question

After installing powershell, i tried running PSVersionTable.PSVersion and PSVersionTable to check the version, however i get the following error:

I did install WMF-4.0 and the .NET framework versions before installing WMF-v5

Most posts point me to make sure i have .NET and WMF-4.0 installed and i cant seem to find anything else.

Note I am Using windows 7

Answer 1

You need to enter $PsVersionTable. It is a built in variable and you access variables via $.

Answer 2

The correct way to get the version is $PSVersionTable. It's a variable, not a call to anything.
