**UPDATE 24/02/2016** WMF5 was re-released today and the below scripts should still work**
This is a very very quick post about installing WMF5 on Windows 8.1 or Server 2012 / Server 2012 R2 via this function script I created
And what better way than a simple 1 liner to grab and run the script
Invoke-Expression (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(‘http://bit.ly/InstallWMF5’)
And if you want to look at the Script then direct link is http://bit.ly/InstallWMF5
Hope this is useful for you

PPS – There is an issue with running this on Windows 7 / Server 2008R2 machines due to the need for WMF4 to be installed.
I am working on this but this is low priority for me as really we shouldn’t be deploying Server 2008 or Windows 7 Systems any more
