Installationproblems with EPiServer CMS 6 (6.0.530.0)

I installed EPiServer CMS 6 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 32-bit using the Application option. The server had CMS 5 R1SP1 and CMS 5 R2SP2 installed from before (but not CMS6 RC1).

I get the Version 6.0.530.0 option in the deployment center with all the usual options (Install site etc.)

But if I try to run any of them I get this error message:
Error - The term 'New-EPiCMSWizard' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program, or script file. Verify the term and try again.

I have uninstalled CMS 6 and reinstalled it with no change. Same with reboot.

If I run 'Get-PPSnapin -r' in Powershell I get:

PS C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> Get-PSSnapin -r

And yes I ran the setup.exe to install the release. :-)

I ran into two small issues whilst trying to deploy a v6 site, though they don't seem to be related to yours

In my excitement, I ran the install from the unextracted zip file!
There was an issue with the EPiServer Shared components folder. The install process complained that the folder didn't exist. I think this was related to a choice I made as to whether to stop the Indexer/Scheduling service (I chose yes). When I tried to install again and selected no (the process then suggested I needed a reboot to finish 6.0.530.0 installation)

After a reboot the site install worked without issue.

Found the solution to the problem.

I also ran the install from the unextracted zip file, and unzipping all the files and then running setup.exe again fixed the problem.

Here is what I did in more detail:

Unzipped all the installation files
Ran setup.exe, it installed the EPiServer.Framework etc. automaticaly
Canceled the setup
Fired up Deployment Center
And now it works!

Thanks Mark for the tip!
