Many people recently have asked how to determine programatically what version of PowerShell their script is running in. Well in version two there is a $psversiontable variable, but this sadly isn't in V1. All is not lost though, as you can write a simple function to return a version object for v1. Below is a quick function that I wrote that I have been using for the last year or so. 

function get-psVersion

{

if ((get-Variable psversiontabl[e]) -eq $null)

{

new-Object system.Version "1.0.0.0"

}

else

{

$psversiontable.psversion

}

}
