Then why is it so hard to get into? This stuff should be fixed in the
installer. I should be able to install this product, via unattended means
and have it work the way I want to.

This is something that we hope to allow as a command-line arguement in the
installer. However, we're just about to rewrite our setup (into 3 different
technologies, in fact,) so we didn't want to put feature work into the
current installer for this release. With that, I think that most of your
deployment and personalization concerns would be covered.

If I try to edit the $profile file (Notepad $profile) I get errors.

Try the following to create a file, along with its intermediate directories:

[C:\temp\monad]
PS:12 > new-item -type File "c:\new path\file.txt" -force

Directory: C:\new path

Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
Description
---- ------------- ------ ----
-----------
-a--- 5/3/2006 6:09 PM 0 file.txt

Suggestion: An alias for New-Item is ni

[C:\temp\monad]
PS:13 > dir 'C:\new path\file.txt'

Directory: C:\new path

Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
Description
---- ------------- ------ ----

A mapped drive is NOT the Internet! I do not want to have to type "r" each
time I run a script off of a network share. This is stupid security, not
helpful security. It should be fixed by Execution Policy.

This is a separate bug that we're looking into. This isn't the experience
that we want users to have. Could you please file a bug about this on MS
Connect along with your system information so that we can try to track it
down?
