I have configured Custom Shell using Windows PowerShell. The shell starts but it fails to return prompt. See attached image of configuration.
Windows PowerShell is available at:

Hi Lubos,

your descriptor misses some entries which are required to make Wicked Shell abled to interpret the characters returned by the Power Shell. I made a configuration which is similar to the cmd.ece configuration and may probably work. If it does not work, could you please attach a screenshot of an external Power Shell Box just to get an Idea of the prompt returned by the Powershell?

Hope that helps a little.

Best Regards,
Stefan

I did set the settings as you recommended, but still I cannot get the prompt. Here is the image of standard powershell prompt (ends with >space).

Then I changed powershell prompt to use > only (no space after), but my setting still doesn't work. See powershell2.png

Hi Lubos,

that really sounds strange...

Could you provide me the powershell installation (the links does not work somehow), if it runs on XP? Maybe send it via mail (depends on the size :)?

I think I have to look at the PowerShell more closely.

Best Regards,
Stefan

Stefan, get the powershell installer from http://pochmans.googlepages.com/WindowsXP-KB926139-x86-ENU.exe
