I’m getting the error message

x.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.

downgrading to 1.8.4 and everything works properly again.

All I’m doing is spinning up a new windows 2012 r2 ec2 instance then running the Configure remoting ps1 script then trying to run any of the win\_xxx tasks.

there was a fix for powershell in 1.9.1rc3, can you try devel or the  
release candidate?

I’m currently using pip to install it. Is there an easy way to try the RC?
