GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 787177
setup-mingw64.ps1 requires PowerShell 3.0 or more recent, but Windows 7 ships 2.0

The script uses invoke-webrequest which is introduced in Powershell 3.0. As Windows 7 comes with Powershell 2.0 by default this creates an extra hurdle for potentially interested Windows developers working on Windows 7 still. Powershell 4.0 can be manually installed. The instructions can be found here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/21016.how-to-install-windows-powershell-4-0.aspx This bug report is a reminder to investigate whether we can come up with a solution that doesn't require this initial manual step.
