WMF 4.0 download link missing

[Craftplacer]

The PowerShell 6 installer states that there's a download link for WMF 4.0 (or newer) on this page which isn't the case.

See https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/scripting/windows-powershell/wmf/overview for information about WMF and links to install packages. You should install the latest WMF available for your OS.

I already found it myself but I'd like to see a link to the WMF page put on the other page.

That link should be on the page because the Powershell 6 setup links to it, saying this is the place to get WMF 4.0.

WMF 4.0 download link is still broken http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=293881

[sdwheeler]

@Lancefiger We are aware of the issue and are working to get the download package republished.

[Oxid-HO]

Hi there, is there any news on whenever the download package is going to be republished?

[An-kun]

Any update regarding this?
From what I can see, all downloads to WMF 4.0 is still broken, now almost 2 years later.

[kiru]

Can you give us an update on when WMF 4.0 download is available? Why is this issue closed?

[marm0lade]

Why is this closed? Microsoft just gave everyone a powershell script to run on their Exchange servers to check for evidence of the HAFNIUM exploit. Many of us need to update the WMF so we can install Powershell 4.0. We can't update to WMF 4.0 because you pulled the download 2 years ago and won't put it back. Unbelievable.

This DOCS issue is closed because there is nothing I can do in the docs to fix this. The PowerShell Team is aware of the problem and they are trying to fix it. You would get more traction opening an issue at https://aka.ms/psfeedback.

[marm0lade]

I will open an issue there. Thank you.

EDIT: "This repository is ONLY for PowerShell Core 6 and PowerShell 7+ issues."

Can't wait for my bug report to be instantly closed.
