Heads up, just sent an e-mail to feedback, with an error on starting up the system on powershell. Not sure if it's my environment or not.

For me, the issue was trying to load Light Table via the 64-bit version of PowerShell. Switching to the x86 version (and setting the remote code signing) had me working in no time.

I'll check on this, I use 64bit powershell and 64bit jvm.

You first need to allow remote scripts to be executed with: set-executionpolicy remotesigned

Then you have to "Unblock" the downloaded ps1 file (Properties, click Unblock at the bottom).

Next you have to make sure that java.exe is in your path. After that you are good to go!

This line does not appear to be working - any ideas? (new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("http://temp2.kodowa.com/playground/light.ps1, "light.ps1")

you can just manually download that script if you need to at the url it uses:

  http://temp2.kodowa.com/playground/light.ps1

that's what I ended up doing - working fine now :)
