Dependency on PowerShell 3 and/or .NET 4.0 #22

I had difficulty running chewie until I updated to PowerShell 3.0, which appears to use .NET 4.0 by default (unlike previous versions). I don't know that PS 3 is required, it's possible that PS 2 would work fine if configured to use .NET 4.

Either way, please update the docs to note this dependency.

Where do you think it would be the most helpful? Failing on the command line? Wiki?

Some ideas:

  • The Chocolatey installer could fail if the system does not meet the dependencies
  • The command line could print a helpful error message (right now, it just fails with cryptic error messages about missing methods)
  • The video page might note the dependencies, since that's the current recommended "documentation." This would also be a helpful place to note that "cinst Chewie" as mentioned in the video won't get the right version, but "cinst Chewie -Pre" will.
