The same package I install on Windows Server 2012 - no exception with the same test.\r\n\r\nConclusion: we should check OS version in our packages and block setup on inappropriate OS version.\r\n\r\nDiscussion: User can copy-paste folder with installed PowerShell Core from one OS to one with  inappropriate version and get unpredictable results. We should to protect in some way. Maybe have a manifest to check dll versions at startup. \r\n(Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.Native.Unmanaged.DLL version is the same in Win10 and Win81 packagees).\r\n\r\n\r\nI  test `Test-Connection computername` on Windows Server 2012 R2.
