On my box, I installed PowerShell 2.0, but the $PSHome varialbe always return the path below：

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0

So, where is the v2.0 or v3.0 folder?

stackoverflow.com/a/1825807/470749 shows how to determine what version you are running. It's f***** annoying that Microsoft puts WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 as the folder but then tells me that I'm running 5.1. – Ryan

Just like how 64-bit system files in Windows are in System32, all versions of Powershell install into the path that says v1.0. One of the things that MS doesn't seem to learn from. Didn't you wonder that Powershell script files have the extension ps1, psm1 etc?
